We flew into Olbia in the North East of Sardinia. My last trip was on the South Coast. Immediately I was struck with how mountainous and green the island is. I was hoping for sunshine, good food, and some wind for wingfoiling. Despite some minor hiccups on arrival, our first full day was bless with sunshine and wind.
Temperatures dropped quickly that evening and we woke up to rain. It soon cleared up a bit but we figured we would go and try find some flamingos in nearby San Teodoro and the long sand strip at La Cinta with a big lagoon behind it. There was no joy on the flamingo front.
The next few days were pretty sunny but windless so spent wandering, sunbathing, reading and snorkelling. We could stroll down into Porto Ottiolu, grab a coffee, wander along the coastal path and find a little cove. The wild flowers were out in force. One day we took a drive up to Palau and Porto Pollo for a change of scenery.
Finally on the last day the wind made a comeback. I spent the whole day at the beach and tried to get as many hours on the water as possible. The local weather patterns certainly seemed to be off track somewhat, but I have no doubt this is a great water sports location.
