Arrival in Sardinia

---

06 May 2011

The ferry docked at the port of Golfo Aranci and our first visit was to the Costa Smeralda, a wild coast with many inlets and bays which over the last 50 years has been developed into a millionaires’ playground, but it still retains much of its natural ruggedness.

We then went to look at the sacred well of Sa Testa from Sardinia’s nuraghic era. The island’s nuraghic culture lasted from 1800 to 300 BC and has left many remains some of which we plan to see on our travels.

Our campsite for the next two days was just outside Porto San Paolo which gives excellent views of the dramatic island of Tavolara from a pleasant beach close by.
