Remember that exited feeling when you jump out of bed, look outside and see everything covered under a white layer of snow? Well, i felt it again this morning but for the million happy rays of sunshine!
We already decided yesterday, if the weather would improve, that we would drive to Palau, take a ferry to Isola Maddalena and cross the bridge to Isola di Caprera.
It’s not a big island but you can have some lovely walks and it’s doped with lovely beaches. Combine both and that sounds like a plan.

The easiest way to get to the beaches is by boot, but some of them you can hike to. A proper pair of hiking boots is advisable and a good sense of direction also as we only saw one signpost during our hike. It took us about 45mins to reach Spiaggia di Cala Coticcio. Beautiful white sand, crystal clear water and only 5 other lost souls. It was definitely worth the effort.
Time for a refreshing swim, and refreshing it was. The Tyrrhenian Sea was actually still ice-cold this time of the year. But hey, it only took 3 minutes to heat up again.

On our way back we made a stop at the National Giuseppe Garibaldi museum. The general is one of Italy’s greatest national heros and he is buried on Caprera. Since it was a Sunday the museum was closed. Which was actually a good thing because we started to realise that the last ferry sail off was within 15mins! But we made it.
