Arrived in Genoa we prepare for the crossing to Sardinia. Since we leave Genoa at 7:00 p.m. and arrive in Olbia at 7:00 a.m. the next day. We made a conscious decision to do without a cabin and settle for Pullman seats.
We arrived around 8:00 p.m. after a cozy aperitif on deck at the restaurant, where we got something to eat.
Around 11:30 p.m. we looked for our Pullman seats and tried to rest for a few hours.

Already at 05:00 we were woken up by a loud gong. Which meant for us to get up and enjoy the harbor entrance. As soon as we docked, we were asked to go to our vehicles and prepare for the exit.
As soon as we got off the ferry, we visited Olbia. Around 4:00 p.m. we decide to travel on to Palau.

In the late afternoon we arrive at the Baia Saraceno campsite in Palau. And although we arrive in the late afternoon, luck is on our side and we unexpectedly get a place on the beach.
Hardly set up, we also see why this place was still free. Due to its exposed location, we were also exposed to the winds. Which blew heavily for the next two days.

Our bike tour takes us from the Fortezza to the island of the Gabbiani. And since there are strong winds in this bay, one can speak of a real windsurfer's paradise. Before we start our return journey we enjoy the performances of the windsurfers.

After two days of wind we decide to continue our journey to the west coast and head towards Castelsardo. But we don't want to take the direct route, but rather drive along the coast. As a result, it takes us longer, but we are rewarded with beautiful views and areas.
