In 2011 we did a very beautiful kayak trip in Sardinia. It ended in Santa Teresa di Gallura. We decided to start this this new adventure exactly where the 2011 one had ended.
This time we will paddle among many little and beautiful islands: Spargi, Maddalena, caprera and others. This spring was very very cold in Europe and now the Mediterranean Sea is cold as we had never seen before (it seams to be in New Zealand!).

  • 2013-06-16_19-58-57_Matteo-PAN

    This area of Sardinia is all made of granite rock: we often leave the kayaks to enjoy some nice climbings.

  • 2013-06-17_13-36-23_Matteo

    Weird rocks (and Sylvia).

  • 2013-06-17_15-20-04_Matteo

    ...And here we are! Kayaking and swimming among the rocks.
    Unfortunately the spring in the whole Europe was cold and cloudy, and consequently the sea is now as cold as I've never felt it. :-(

  • 2013-06-17_20-05-56_Matteo

    Giovanni is not just our commodore, but also a master chef!
    He used to cooking also during the last trips, but this year he reached the highest level of ever!!

  • 2013-06-18_13-24-59_Giovanni

    If you have to wait for the others and it's too hot... You can wait in the shade.

  • 2013-06-18_11-36-58_Matteo

  • 2013-06-19_16-13-03_Matteo-PAN

    Paddling around the Maddalena Island.

  • Conillo is really reckless on the kayak. We made a sort of harness to avoid to lose him in the sea. To persuade him to wear it, we told him that it's a scarf.

  • 2013-06-19_17-48-57_Matteo-PAN

    In the Maddalena we landed in one of the most beautiful spot of all the trip: amazing granite rocks around an inlet of crystal water.

    ...While under water strange monsters are wandering about and...

  • 2013-06-19_20-31-45_Matteo

    ...And odd creatures arise where a few minutes before there was nothing.

  • 2013-06-21_12-27-18_Matteo

  • 2013-06-22_14-02-21_Matteo

    The wind is everyday stronger, but our commander Conillo dares the waves reckless.

  • 2013-06-22_16-41-15_Matteo-PAN

    In the very north of Caprera there is this small cove. We are camping here for the night. Clouds are coming and the weather forecast for tomorrow are no good at all.

  • 2013-06-22_15-31-09_Matteo

    Lunch at 3 p.m. in the above said cove: we weren't able to find any good spot to land for the past 3 hours.

    After lunch we start a new climbing raid. Our target are some weird fortress that we have seen from the sea.

  • 2013-06-22_17-36-41_Matteo

    Concealed housing.

  • 2013-06-22_18-10-47_Matteo

    These fortifications are older that the others: they were built for the First World War.
    To conceal the buildings, they were made and covered of the local stone. The result is an amazing architecture. here some pictures...

  • 2013-06-22_18-08-52_Matteo

    Towers.

  • 2013-06-22_20-10-48_Matteo-PAN

    The rocks behind our cove.

  • 2013-06-22_20-34-08_Matteo
