Sardinia, baby!

While I'm a little torn about the ecological implications of cheap air travel, I'll have to admit that it's great being able to hop on a plane and get yourself flown in no-frills style to some nice place at a reasonable cost.

Happily, easyJet flies from Berlin Schoenefeld to Olbia on the Italian island of Sardinia. We had booked ourselves into a cosy Bed & Breakfast place in the North of the island, and a snazzy little rental car to move around. While he had planned to keep our excursions to the Northern part of the island, it turned out we had underestimated the curviness of the roads. It was difficult to drive anywhere much faster than 40 mph or something (except on a few stretches of highway), so our action radius was somewhat curtailed. We did manage to see quite a bit of the rugged beauty and historic treasures, and it was a wonderful and relaxing 8 days.

Here's a few pictures that attempt to capture a little of what we saw:
