Cala di Volpe, Sardinia (August 2006)

  • next day sunrise..
  • One bay by the hotel
  • an another day just ends...
  • continue hiking one bay after another and discover all the beautiful little beaches..
  • ..with a beautiful sunrise the next morning
  • Ready to take off?...
  • ...short run to the hotel "Romazzino"..
  • area around hotel
  • rocks have incredible shapes here...
  • a hike that goes on and on...
  • no trip without taking pictures of flowers...
  • ..more and more rocks and beaches..
  • some country side..
  • ..and this a typical sardinian-house?!?
  • ...some beach time...
  • The day can't start better than with a great workout in the morning...
  • Cala di Volpe by night
  • And on a Sunday morning...
  • another great formation: look closer and see the face
  • one day I will try those fruits too!
  • yes Sardinia belongs to Italy..
  • last day with a short bike ride up a hill..
  • prickly?
  • ..probably has not been raining for months here.
  • sure you want to go there???
  • here is another one.
  • overview from a hike to "Monte Moro".
  • and a "bella vista" almost from the top of that hill
  • ..relaxing..
  • more like a golfer's village somewhere around "Cannigione"
  • beach near "Cannigione".
  • ..I had some bad luck and it was the only day with very little wind :)
  • at least I found a windsurfcenter..
  • one more dive into the ocean...
  • ..after riding my bicycle five hours to "Porto Puddu" where I was hoping to windsurf...
  • windsurfing was not meant to be the whole week.
  • or this one?!?
  • but whenever I was hungry, I found some wild tasty figs on the way
  • the bike that took me on loooooooong rides....
  • riding up and down hills and fighting against heat and very strong wind
  • some big boats in the bay today..
  • ..the longer the hike, the colors just turned out beautifully in the sunset light
  • little trick with photoshop
  • after climbing rocks and no more path, I had to turn back
  • the further away from the hotel, the less people were around
  • check out the white caps on the water (incredible windy)
  • little hawaiian-memory
  • ..and eat an early dinner.
  • So the day ended great again and I was happy the be "out off the saddle"
  • ..and then welcome on board again
  • Flight to Sardinia
  • view out of the plane
  • just before landing in Casa Blanca again
