Sardinia – here we come !
July 26, 2008 by HeatherCowper
I’mso sorry my postings have been a little sparse in the last month or two. I confess that a new job since May has taken up most of my energy and left me feeling in dire need of a holiday.
Our previous plans for Ethiopia are postponed as our friends are back in the UK, so a quick tour of the Easyjet website was required to find a suitable alternative. The main criteria were cheap flights, warm weather, and a few activities that teenagers might enjoy.
Sardinia is a large island off the toe of Italy, just south of Corsica, and looked ideal. Both my neighbours and my sister had visited and enjoyed their holidays there. So Sardinia it was.
We will be staying at Cala Gonone a small resort on the eastern side of the island, known for it’s beaches, rocky cliffs and coves, sea caves and great diving and snorkling.
Here the mountains come down to the sea and our last couple of nights will be a little way inland where the activities on offer include walking the local gorges, climbing and bouldering.
Here’s hoping that the kids will find a good balance of chilling and watersports and that Mum will return refreshed and with renewed energy and adventures to share with you.
