The roads in Sardegna so far have been a bit easier to navigate than in Sicilia, though I’m not the one driving. The coastal road from Alghero south to Bosa was spectacular and sometimes reminiscent of the Northern California coast. There are swimming beaches everywhere, however.
Bosa is one of those ridiculously picturesque medieval villages, though there’s not much left of their castle high up on the hill. We didn’t start out today planning to walk all the way up the flights of steps to the top... We found another way back down which meandered through one level of streets after another so we really got to see all that is here. The river Temo is the only navigable river in Sardegna and runs through the town.
We’re deciding which beach to spend the day at tomorrow, but don’t think either of us is wanting to go south, up and down, up and down, up and down...you get the picture. Besides, the beach we went to the other day, a few miles north, has parking in the shade, showers and a beach bar.
A little beach town we found along the road for a cold drink and pizza...
p.s. the wines are fantastic

We’re having a wonderful trip.
Our first selfie, up at the castle...town, river and the open sea behind us.

you guys are doing it up!! Love the selfie!! Good call parking in the shade! Love you both!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to all these places some day with Gemma and the boys. Keep a good diary of events so we can mirror the same locations. Might have to wait until they are in High School or something.
ReplyDeleteMarcus, you win for having the most comments and we love hearing from you! You’d definitely want the boys to be older and hopefully Sardegna won’t be overrun by tourists by then...other than in July and August, which apparently has already happened. Start the family Italian lessons now! We arrived today in our last destination, Cala Gonone on the eastern sea. More on that in a day or 2. We’re going out on the gulf in a sailboat tomorrow⛵️⛱❤️
ReplyDeleteLook forward to hearing about the sailboat ride! I can picture you and John on the helm...gazing at each other as the sun sets in the background!
ReplyDeleteHow do you even know how to get anywhere in that town? Holy cow it's packed and doesn't even look like there is walking room. I'd be lost for sure!
