Now we have arrived in the nice town of Alghero. But the day started by driving to the far end of the Stintino peninsula in north-west Sardinia. There should be many beautiful beaches ... and there probably are. But here in July, it is BOTH difficult to find space on the beach AND difficult to find space to park the motorhome. After being driven away from a car park (don't know why - we were standing inside the parking space?) we gave up and rolled further south.

We continue to explore Sardinia! Today we have driven a bit out on the cape in the northwest where the town of Stintino is located. There are supposed to be fantastic beaches here (we have only seen a small part yet) and outside is the island "Isola Asinara" (Donkey Island), which is a national park and where there are supposed to be wild albino donkeys.

Today we drove across Sardinia, from Cala Gonone in the east to a campsite in Porto Torres in the north-west. The plan is to follow the west coast southwards from here. When we left Cala Gonone we saw a lot of really mighty mountains. Since then the road has been flatter and less exciting.

First, a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who sent me congratulations yesterday! I really got lots of nice greetings on the blog, Facebook, Instagram and email. I have read all of them several times and it really warms me up! My wonderful colleagues had also recorded a video where they sang for me - but how nice is that?

How does it work to get help from car mechanics abroad? The engine light in our campervan comes on from time to time. We have has asked at several workshops in the past, but no one can find the fault. However, the last few times we have driven it has become worse.

Yesterday, as we drove south in Sardinia, we felt a bit cheated. Firstly, we did not get out to the beaches at Emerald Coast with our motorhome and secondly, it felt like we left the charming small roads and deserted nature of Corsica behind us. Here in Sardinia, the roads are bigger, the people are more numerous, the cars drive faster... Well, we finally arrived at Cala Gonone, which is really nice!

We've heard a lot about the Emerald Coast or 'Costa Smeralda' - Sardinia's most famous stretch of beach. It's said to have the whitest sand and clearest water, but perhaps the "emerald" is best associated with the exclusive lifestyle of its visitors.

After three days in 'internet shadow' on the wonderful island of La Maddalena off Sardinia (we blogged from the tourist office), we wanted a campsite with good WiFi. We drove to Centro Vacanze Isuledda in northern Sardinia, where we (so far) have an ACSI discount and pay 18 euros/day.

The last night on the island of La Maddalena, it was free camping in Sardinia. The main reason was financial. (We have budgeted 20 euros/night during our Euopa trip and now that we are approaching the high season, most campsites cost more.) Once we stood there, watching the sun sink into the horizon from our door, we realised that there are so many more reasons to free camp!
