I didn’t get to Buggerru

A couple of days on the West coast of Sardinia, featuring a lovely coastal walk between Masua and Buggerru...

A day on the water in Sardinia

Friday, 28th April 2017

The gorgeously clear blue water around Sardinia deserved a closer look, so I spent a half day kayaking the coastline between Santa Maria Navarrese and Pedra Longa.

Dinner and flowers

Monday, 24th April 2017

When guidebooks go bad…

My first train adventure

Thursday, 20th April 2017
