Santa Teresa di Gallura – Linguizzetta

48th day

We say goodbye to Sardinia with the idea of returning in the future with Beast and renting an apartment in the center of the island as a base to explore it a bit more in depth. Our time is running out 😥 and seeing that getting to Corsica is a bit more complicated, we have decided to spend more days in the French one and consider it visited on this trip.
We return to the baguette, the croissant, and the cheese… oysters are not very common in this area 😊. We also return to the outrageous prices of the French country; the boat ride of just an hour costs three times as much as any of the ones we have taken so far 😨. The journey is over in the blink of an eye, barely an hour on calm and bright seas. The boarding is quick and orderly; this time I had to go up backward, but I’m already a pro 😉. We spent the trip on deck enjoying the nice weather and being able to take in the city of Bonifacio and the entrance to the port, which we had been told was spectacular.
“We enter this harbor well known to sailors: a double cliff, steep and uninterrupted, rises around us, and two long promontories, facing each other at the entrance, narrow its mouth” (The Odyssey – Homer)

Indeed, the entrance has been majestic. We left behind a bright day only to be greeted just an hour later by a gray, dark, and cloudy one. The image of that fortress

shrouded by clouds is impressive, just like the narrowness of the harbor entrance leaves you in awe because it is like a steep and narrow fjord that opens a little inside and delves into the land only to narrow again. The color of the stone of the cliffs surrounding the harbor is also striking. Limestone or white granite, its erosion shows the continuous struggle of the mountain against the elements. It is a landscape worthy of appearing on postcards.

Thorqui and I went straight to the camping site. We chose one located towards the middle of the east coast of the island, and the idea is to stay there until Monday. Thorsten and Beast went to the mountains that were already visible as we entered the port for a first contact and returned happy as can be with the number of possibilities the island offers and the time we have to explore it.

Neither of us has been here before, and what we have seen so far we are really enjoying. He has come back thrilled with what he has seen, and I have relaxed in the sun by the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which looks wonderful and is at the perfect temperature 😍.

This time, since we are going to stay more days in one place, we have deployed all the artillery and set up the “little house” as it should be for maximum enjoyment 🙂.

Calm afternoon with a little research work to finish locating ourselves in the chosen spot and oh! Surprise!!!... The camping site has a sauna by the sea, glass-enclosed to delight you with the views while you sweat like never before 😅. T wasted no time getting in and loved it; I’m not so sure 🤔 if more than the mountain this morning 😜.
Cesar salad for dinner and a quiet after-dinner with the sound of the gentle waves reaching the white sand of the beach. Can you ask for more?
Good night… I’ll keep you posted 😘
