So my contract ended with easyjet on the 17th July, and Adam conveniently had 4 days off, so we thought we should head off for another little escape out of Luton. We had just moved into our new place the night before, so unpacking had to wait until we got back. This time we thought we would venture to Italy, to Sardinia. We flew into Olbia and hired a car, and drove up North. We crossed over to the West coast, and stopped overnight in a little town called Cappe Teresa, on the map it looked quite small, but on the water.
We dropped our things off and headed for dinner. The guy at the hotel suggested a restaurant, and we trusted his instruction.
Oh dinner was gooooooood!! I had pizza, and wowow Italian pizza is amazing!!!! So afterwards we walked back, and this little town was packed with people dancing in a quadrant in a line dancing fashion:
The atmosphere was amazing, old, young, locals, tourists, dogs, cats etc. But most people were speaking Italian, so I would say Italian tourists. In the hotel I became friends with these little fellas:
Oh they were cute!! Reminded me of my turtles, although mine were better! After Teresa we headed further south along the west coast. The countryside was amazing. Up in the North west side of the island they had these type of rock formations along the coast:
Including one rather interesting one:
But we had fun climbing and exploring the area, and admiring the crystal clear water. 
The beaches were amazingly packed with people, and really you have to get there first thing in the morning to find a comfortable spot. But this once again was filled with mostly Italians. 
After these little stops, we continued further south, however slightly inland to find a little town. It was so packed, and looked so different to anything you would ever see in Australia. Looked very similar to Greece, Spain, Portugal and defiantly fit the Mediterranean surroundings. Nice feel. 
Afterwards we crossed over land to find ourselves once again on the East coast. The mountains which we had to drive through were amazing – to think that we were on such a small island. Adam said it reminded him of driving through the Alps. 
This side also provided amazing views, and on one outlook neither of us could get over the deep navy blue waters – it was a beautiful time of day to see it (adam's photo shows it the best).
Here we had an interesting little stopover. We stopped as a coastal town, which we both found quite toursity, however it was in a good location for us to continuing our trip in the morning. We parked the car at the hotels little car parking area, went and ate a nice meal, and fell asleep directly. In the morning we had breakfast on the rooftop and got a nice view of the little town. I totally forgot the name however I know it began with 'A'. So when we went to collect the car, we had a slight little collision with the pillar in the car park. Big oops. But we didnt want that to ruin our trip so off we continued down south.
Along the way we found a few strays:
Oh these little pigs were so cute!!! We found their mother not far away on a farm - she was one big mamma. Other animals we saw included goats, horses and cows (all along the road apart from the goats on a hill next to the road – amazing what angles they can climb!). But we had a lovely drive. We also saw several marble mines, which is a very big industry for Italy. We ended up settling down south next to Cagliari.
The next day we saw the most amazing waters. The beaches were the most packed here, and the water was the most amazing colours – I will let the photos speak for themselves.
LOOK AT THAT WATER BABY!!!!!!!!!!! ---->
So amazing!!!! Next stop was the airport to return the car...oops. Home time – back to Luton.
