Tropea in Italy took us by storm. The cliffs are high and the village sits at the top overlooking the deep blue sea and white beaches. This medieval town is filled with cosy alleys and outdoor cafes where you can enjoy food and wine. A holiday in Calabria feels just right right now!

Taormina, located on the eastern coast of Sicily, is by far the most beautiful and charming town we've seen in Sicily. Situated high up on a mountain, the town offers both a breathtaking drive up steep hairpin bends and a stunning view of the sea.

Today we visited the Sicilian town of Noto. Noto is located south of Syracuse and despite its small size (24,000 inhabitants) is well worth a visit. In 2002, the town and its church were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, and it's not hard to see why.

Today we went to Trapani on the west coast of Sicily, and our main goal was to buy an internet sim card, but we also got to see an incredibly beautiful city! We managed to of course arrive in the afternoon when everything was closed (siesta), and that way we had time to walk around the Old Town instead.

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.

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.
