Now Peter has made a film with pictures from Corsica and Sardinia! When we think back on the whole trip (8 months in France, Portugal, Spain and Italy) we have to say that Corsica and Sardinia are the ones that stand out as the most amazing. Wow, what islands!

We have now reached the Costa del Rei on the south-east coast of Sardinia. We had to "escape" from the hot Cagliari, where we were parked in the middle of the sun without the possibility of shade or swimming. We have taken in the camping Le Dune, where we got a relatively shady place.

Today we looked around Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia with about 150,000 inhabitants (over 400,000 if you count the entire metropolitan area). This is a charming city with an old city centre where you can feel the wings of history. Right now it is incredibly hot and we have been shopping in shops with AC, having a pasta lunch in the shade and enjoying an ice cream indoors at an ice cream parlour with AC ...

Today we braved the heat (36 degrees and scorching sun) and left the quiet holiday resort of Porto Pino in Sardinia for the more hectic city of Cagliari. Why? Well, we need cook things. We need to fix the motorhome (engine light and spanner icon on), we need to fix my computer (battery and charging problems) and we need to fix ourselves (knee pain and headache problems).

For three days we have been planning to roll on from Porto Pino in southern Sardinia, and for as many days we have given up the idea and simply stopped. Why? It's too hot to move!!! We have 36 plus degrees today and are parked in a relentlessly sunny spot where the air is completely still.

On every beach here in Sardinia (and in many other places, of course) you will find them: the vendors. They sell just about anything you can imagine selling: hats, sunglasses, sarongs, summer dresses, beach towels, beach toys, jewellery, speakers, iPhone cases...

Now we have made it to Porto Pino, and a campsite in southern Sardinia outside St Anna Arresi. After a lot of free camping, we had a great need for services (garbage collection, possibility to fill and empty tanks and so on) but during high season or almost high season you have to be careful not to end up at campsites with completely hysterical prices. Camping Sardegna in Porto Pino had no website - which I thought seemed promising from a price point of view.

It is wonderful to fricamp in Sardinia! It's now five days since we filled and emptied the tanks in the car and charged electricity from a pole. The water in the tank is probably almost gone, the electricity in the car is ticking down and the car is full of things that need to be emptied: rubbish, waste water, toilet. Nevertheless, we decide to hitchhike one more night!

Yesterday we saw a whole bunch of people picking vongole mussels (or whatever these mussels are called?) here in Sardinia, and then we also got the urge to try it! On the small headland where we are standing (Punta S'Aliga, south of Portovesme) there is an outer beach, which is nice to swim in, and an inner beach, with stagnant shallow water filled with seaweed - this is apparently where the mussels thrive.

The advantage of a motorhome is that you are not restricted to charter destinations or places where there are hotels. Today, we started the journey south from Buggerru, travelling on breathtakingly beautiful roads through the mountains, with many impressive views of the sea.
