As we will be sailing up the Eastern Coast of Sardinia, we thought we’d visit Cervo, on the Costa Smeralda but managed to get lost in Nuoro, ending up in some extremely narrow streets, and then took a wrong turn and found ourselves about 6 miles up a mountain and the only route was back to Nuoro. The lack of signs is even worse in Sardinia than they are in Spain!
Once again, the scenery was fantastic, whether it was in the mountains or by the coast. Cervo is the playground of the rich and famous, but we were slightly disappointed by it. It seemed very artificial with no real heart to it – we’ve certainly seen better and livelier marinas.
Needless to say, we got lost in Olbia on the way back and nearly ended up on a ferry!
We called in to Oliena on the way to our hotel, where the women were out doing their shopping. Most of the older women in these mountain villages wear black, with a black shawl.
