Today is the last day on Sardinia. With breakfast behind us and packed lunches ready, we drove to Olbia, where we took the ferry to mainland Italy.
There is not much planned today, just snorkeling. After breakfast we changed clothes, put on swimsuits and went to the beach (by car). Unfortunately the wind was too strong and the waves were too rough. Moreover, it is a sandy beach and there is not much to see underwater. So there was no snorkeling, but we did take a refreshing dip.
The day started, like every other day, with breakfast and preparing the packed lunch. Then we drove to Pula, this is the southernmost point of our trip. In Pula we went to Nora. This is an archaeological site containing remains of a Roman settlement dating from the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. Here you can admire an amphitheater and a palace with beautifully preserved mosaic floors. Nora is located in a special location: on the tip of a headland! I have never experienced archaeological sites at such a location before. Then we drove to Cagliari, this is the capital of Sardinia.
With breakfast behind us and packed lunches ready, we first went by car to Bosa castle, where we walked last night. We were actually a little early (fifteen minutes before opening time), but by the time we had walked from the parking lot to the entrance of the castle it was already opening time. We were the second customer of the day! On this site you could only climb the main tower of the castle ruins and walk over the castle walls and a part of the courtyard. After seeing this we continued our way to Santa Cristina.
After having breakfast and preparing a packed lunch, we first drove to a rock about 4 km from Castelsardo. This rock is shaped like an elephant and is at least thousands of years old. We then continued our way to Bosa, with a stopover in Algheri.
Today we take it a little easier than the last few days. The day started with breakfast and then we went to the old town of Castelsardo.
With breakfast behind us and our suitcases packed and loaded into the car, we drove to Ajaccio this morning. This is the capital of Corsica and birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte.
