The source "Syri i Kalter", Blue eye, is located in southern Albania, not far from the city of Saranda. We drove here directly after our visit to Butrint, and must say that the road to the mountains is absolutely beautiful. It feels like nature is doing well, because it is intensely green and right next to it the clear mountain water flows in a wide channel. But this is of course nothing compared to what we will soon see and experience.

Today we have driven from Syracuse to Naxos Giardini, which is just south of Taormina. Now we have almost rounded Sicily and pretty soon it's time for us to head over to Calabria on the Italian mainland. But not quite yet! First, of course, we will look around in Taormina and in Giardini Naxos. Today, on the road between Catania and Taormina, we have also seen the mighty volcano Etna from a distance.

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.

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!

The caves of Neptune, or Grotta di Nettuno as they are called in Italian, are located outside Alghero in Sardinia. Neptune's caves were discovered by fishermen in the 19th century and the cave system is one of the most famous on the island. A lovely boat trip took us there and it was very convenient in the summer heat. Come to the Neptune Caves in Sardinia!

Now we have arrived in the nice town of Alghero. But the day started by driving to the far end of the Stintino peninsula in north-west Sardinia. There should be many beautiful beaches ... and there probably are. But here in July, it is BOTH difficult to find space on the beach AND difficult to find space to park the motorhome. After being driven away from a car park (don't know why - we were standing inside the parking space?) we gave up and rolled further south.

Mountain roads at Calanche in Corsica! Driving around Calanche Di Piana is beyond explanation. These mountain roads in Corsica cannot be found anywhere else in Europe. So narrow that encounters are tough and 400 metres of cliffs on the side. How cool!

Last night we arrived in Porto, located in the bay of Golfe de Porto, on the west coast of Corsica. Driving along the west coast of Corsica is incredibly beautiful and when we arrived at the campsite in Porto, it didn't get any worse.
