• Caprera day 2

    October 20, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    So long walk today, we went from Stagnali on route 5 to Poggia Rasu, which is actually two big forts on the islands east coast, originally 18th century but like the Guernsey ones added to and changed by each subsequent defending force so here there were also concrete influences. We then continued up the East coast on routes 6 to Poggia Zonza and then 7 to Mount Tejalone, the highest point on the island at 212 m, which felt like a long way up and was actually on the cloud line that day, then back down and inland towards Garibaldi’s house, now a museum, to feed the cats we had seen there on the bus ride yesterday, before walking back towards the boat via a cafe for some, we felt well earned, lunch. It was a lovely if very warm day, we walked for about 3-4 hours.Read more
