Sardinia! Amore mio!

Well, once again Carlo and I headed south to Sardinia! This time for 10 days, which was a fantastic getaway from the daily grind in Munich. We fell in love with this area last year and knew we wanted to return for longer.

The crystal clear waters, blue skies, wild, beautiful landscape were wondeful!
We took a day-trip to the nearby islands of Maddalena and Caprera. On Caprera we visited the house and tomb of the Italian Nationalist Guiseppe Garibaldi. He was an instrumental figure in the unification of Italy. Here, along its shores, we also discovered some of the most azure water on the entire trip. On Maddalena we came across a flea-market where you could buy cheeses, fruit, sandals and everything else you could imagine. We ended up purchasing two tablecloths and Carlo had to drag me away before I bought more! On the way to Caprera which is connected to Maddalena by a VERY narrow, wooden bridge, we spotted a herd of sheep dozing in the hot afternoon sun. It was nice to see them as we had been enjoying some of the wonderful sardinian pecorino cheese at our dinners.
