Spiaggia Foxi e Sali - beach at Santa Margherita.

On our free day in Gonnesa we slept a bit longer and then tried to get some breakfast at the agriturismo. But it turned out that there was no breakfast for us as we should have told them the day before that we want some. So we went into the city of Gonnesa desperately searching for a breakfast spot. However,…

View over the mountains at Costa Verde in the direction of Dune di Piscinas.

We had a relaxed beach day at the Costa Verde. From our Campsite Sciopadroxiu we could walk some minutes down to the wonderful sandy beaches of the Spiaggia di Piscinas. We rent some sunloungers and an umbrella. So we could sleep in the shadow with the wind of the rough but beautiful ocean around us. Once in a while we…

View over the green mountains at the costa verde. Now you know the cause for the name ;)

For our tour to the Costa Verde we started again quite early in the morning. First, it was an up and down in the direction of Oristano. We got forward really fast passing smaller and bigger villages.

Our tent at the campsite Nurapolis in Sardinia.

We learned from the first tour and started quite early from Tresnuraghes to be make some kilometers before the heat of the midday would come. So the alarm clock ringed around 5:30 and we were on the bikes around 6 after a tiny breakfast and trying to make coffee with an italian espresso cooker (not really successfully...). Our target was…

Packed mountainbike with bikepacking equipment.

After a relaxed night in our accomodation in Magomadas with good air conditioning we were very sad that the place was booked for the next night. We really needed a day to prepare for the next long stage. So we searched for a nearby accomodation, found one in Tresnuraghes, and directly booked it via booking.com. Before we checked out, our…

Alghero sundown at the harbor.

We arrived in Sardinia at the airport of Fertilia in the middle of the night. Building up a tent in the dark is really challenging 😉. Especially when you have just one packbag with all the stuff instead of a more or less organized suitcase. But we managed it and had a relaxed night at Camping Laguna Blu. To get…
