Cast of from Olbia quay around mid-morning and
after two hops around Capo Ceraso, anchored in Porto Taverna. The surrounding
hillsides are dotted with discrete villas, obviously well funded from the
immaculate state of most of their gardens. A couple of hotels could also be
discerned, blending into the terrain. The hallmark of development in this, part
of the Costa Smeralda area, is the requirement to "blend in" with
surroundings. Some of the properties are very impressive for their innovative
design and "high rise" it definitely 'aint, but at the same time the
area doesn't appear to have a soul. People don't live here, they just visit
it for a short spell, away from their normal lives and then go away, leaving
their houses empty, until the same time next year.
One night here will probably be enough for us as it
is difficult to get ashore without being certain that one isn't
trespassing.
