Golfo di Orosei, Sardinia

The Golfo di Orosei was only a 3 hour drive south from the La Maddalena district. It was also in the general direction of my plan to travel clockwise around the entire island. Since there are no paved roads and very few dirt or rocky roads to the coastline, the only viable access is from the water. Consequently, I decided to take a full-day boat excursion in order to explore this beautiful rugged coastline on the eastern side of the island. I also believe that the best views are to be experienced from the water. Our charter had 11 other guests from various parts of the world. I befriended some Brits, and a mother and daughter from Japan. It made for a very enjoyable day. The charter provided beer, wine and a hot lunch.

Because of today’s partly-cloudy skies, there were fewer people at the beaches where we stopped to swim.

These are my new friends enjoying lunch and some white wine on the boat as we motor toward another beach.
Everywhere I swam there were fish. I love the expression on the fish staring straight at me. What would he say if he could talk?

Next, I plan I will be traveling to Cala di Sinzias, which is very near the most southeastern point I can drive on the island. My research indicates that it’s a place worth checking-out. Hope you can join me.
