Me, Maren and Pål took the car to Santa Teresa, all the way north on the island. It was where me and Maren arrived, after flying into Figari in Corsika.

Its a 30 min something drive, and we really did not have any plans other than to see something new.

Its a small town with aprox 5000 people, and you can probably add a zero during tourist season.

There is a shop in the main centre area called Bottega. It has a great selection of Sardinian gin, wine and this mito stuff. You can also get some tastibg menues here, but those had to be booked in advance. Well worth a visit anyways. We got a bottle of gin and some grape molasses stuff that we are gonna try out when we get back home.

The heat is hard, 35c in the shade. But never the less we walked all the way aout to the old castle for some great views.

And of course, a church visit… not really worth the visit 🙂

We also drove the short trip out to capo teste for a second lunch, the place was packed with cars along the beautifull beaches there .. and we found a rwsturant we need to try if we ever get back here.

0,2 cl beer bottle, some local brew – pretty good. I need to get some of tgese bottles for future beer brewing.

We drove the superfancy bmw to the airport in Olbia, to pick up Geit and Pål.

Did not reaøøy have a lot of time there, but we did find a microbrewery 👍👍

I drove, so i had to settle for a 3,5% ipa, Maren did a taster..lots pf nice beers.. this is some kind of a chainstore setup, but still nice…and 3 minutes from the airport.

The drive from Olbia to Costa Paradiso is a bit of a nightmare, the trip takes bear two hours one way – twists n turns, crazy drivers…

We are headed to Sardinia, or – we where headed on 16th July, we have now arrived. 🙂

Due to the SAS strike, we had a bit of a hassel to get tickets sorted, but we ended up booking ticket with Swiss and Edelweis Air. So we did oslo, zurich, corsika and then ferry to st teresa at sardinia.

Taxi to Costa Paradiso, keys to house – and straight in the pool. 36c in the shade.

A really beautifull place, big pool .. close to the ocean.. and lots of wild boars roaming the streets.

Tomorrow we need to do some exploring, tonight its pool and beer.

MUZA is situated by the entrance to the old town of Valetta, entrance is 5eur – well worth the money, this place was huge.

The muesum stretched over 3 floors, with lots of different rooms and exchibits, you could easily get lost.

Most of the artwork is religious and related to the grandmasters of st john. But also lots pf old furniture and tools n stuff.. dating back 4-500 years.

After googeling around a bit we foud the Ġgantija temple on Gozo, supposed to be the / or the second oldest man made building in the world (there is some old stuff in turkey)

We opted out on the hop-on-hop-off hell that is the reb busses/ferries, and did the regular ferry from Cirkewwa to Mggarr on the island of Gozo. Nice calm n easy crossing, on a big car ferry.

Besides the temple itself, there is a small muesum also. Showing old pottery, jewøery amd tools – dating vack 5600 years.. so thats older than the pyramids, way older.

Of course, it has had its wear over the years – but again, 5600 years old..thats a bit, older than the stonehenge.. really cool.

The whole area was really nice laid out, and for us beeing here in start of low season it was not crowded at all. Really cool site – of course it also had a giftshop at the end.. fridge magnets aquired!

Hell on earth

A small island NOTHING like the pictures say. Totaly overcrowded with eorupean trash, and generel rubbish.

We did not go all over the island – but the lagoon itswlf is a trashpit of kebab stench, cheap rum drinks and a heavy techo beat.

The facilities are non excisting, the toilets are some kind of old testament punishment.

Bathing is limited at best… views are nice :).. but my god so many people on so little space.

Boatride out was nice, hoping to get on the mext one out 🙂
