Hello Steemians,
welcome to the second part of our trip on the island of Sardinia.
On the second day of our stay in Porto Cervo we undertook a trip to the island Isola Maddalena. We drove about 1 hour with the rental car from our hotel in Porto Cervo to the port of Palau.
The island Isola Maddalena is surrounded by several smaller islands. To the east of the ferry line is the small island Isola Santo Stefano. In the picture we look back to the island of Sardinia and the port city Palau. In the foreground we see a few rocks of Isoletto Roma, a small islet next to the island Isola Santo Stefano.
The ferry crossing from Palau to the island takes about 40 minutes. Here we met the sister ship of our ferry.
After half an hour drive we approach the port of La Maddalena, the largest settlement of the island. We had the plan to drice once clockwise around the island. In the east of the island there is a dam to the neighboring island of Caprera, which we also wanted to visit.
In the picture below you can see the small beach Spiaggia Cala d'Inferno on the rough northwest coast of the island near the village Villagio Trinita.
At the beginning of a holiday, we always take a photo of our rental car. The FIAT, which we had booked in Olbia, already had a big damage to the bumper.
In the middle of the island there is the viewpoint Guardia Vecchia. From there you have a nice view over the island. Below a view down to the port of La Maddalena, in the background the islands Isola Santo Stefano, Caprera and Sardinia.
From the island of Carpeta I have unfortunately no pictures, but here again an impression of one of the bays of the island Maddalena.
In the early afternoon we took the ferry back to Sardinia. A last view back to La Maddalena and the viewpoint Guardia Vecchia on top of the hill.
At sea we could already see our next goal. The imposing and striking rock formation Capo d'Orso. Till next week!
