Day 34 - Sight Seeing & Driving West

So today is an easy day - taking my time and sightseeing my way west towards Alghero. I wanted to stop off at some quiet beaches along the way. There’s so many little beaches “spiaggia” as the road hugs the northern coastline of Sardinia. I’ve booked tonight at a beach town called Castelsardo - about 70km away from Alghero.
Firstly though I wanted to explore the rocky headland at Santa Teresa called Capo Testa. It has absolutely amazing rock formations. I walked into the Valle Della Luna - man it was really incredible. I just love big rock formations - this place was like being on another planet ( well moon). Massive granite formations and incredibly weathered. It’s a very special place.
Octavia and I had some serious conversations about our relationship coming to an end - so I had to treat her kindly with respect and appreciation. She got it - so we’re both OK. Our last drive along the coast was wonderful for us both. The sun was high in a blue sky and the beach stops weren’t far away.
I swam at two beaches. Had some drama on the first - it’s a quiet beach - bit of a walk in - I’ve had my swim - drying myself off and notice smoke coming from an area just behind a couple who were sunbathing adjacent the beach and the grassy dunes. I walk over and indicate the smoke - they jump up and next thing we’re all in there trying to put out a grass fire that they had started by throwing a cigarette butt away. It was windy and the vegetation very dry. It took us quite a while with others assisting - but kept it from breaking away.
I had two more stops - didn’t swim the last - but went for a nice beach walk to a small castle. Had a great view from the top.
Then we drove on to Castelsardo for our final sleep over. Tomorrow we say goodbye at Alghero airport.Read more
