The local side of it – Li Feruli, Sardinia, Italy
I’ve written about this stunning stretch of beach many, many times before and yesterday, for the first time in 6 months, I finally got to relive its natural beauty. Li Feruli was left off the list of top beaches in Sardinia that was circulating the social media scene and I’m grateful as I want to keep this gem all to myself.
There was hardly a soul around (with the exception of a pair of nudist) as we made our way to ‘our‘ spot. The cool breeze mixed with the salt air and I reminded myself that I have returned to heaven.
And now, I’d like to remind you, the naked tourist. This stretch of sand is not a designated nudist beach. Personally, I have zero problem if you decide to strip down to your birthday suit but the local authorities may see differently.
If you’d like to get naked in Italy here is a wonderful link with designated nude beaches.
It’s good to be home! It’s good to set foot on Li Feruli, again and again!

A rum tour from Jamaica’s Appleton Estate
The Appleton Estate distillery is located in the picturesque Nassau Valley in the parish of St. Elizabeth. They have been distilling rum for 260 years with the age-old process of time and patience.
We spent a wonderful morning there, having a private tour and tasting every type of rum on offer. Extracting sugarcane juice was one of the ancient traditions of which we partook and even got to taste the fruits of our labour. Yum!

Me in the carefully selected barrel room – full of rum!
At Appleton, the rum is aged in oak barrels which allows for a smooth and mellow spirit. The slow distillation process creates a flavourful and delicate rum, one that you won’t soon forget.

Sardinia – the place I call home
I suppose, I should let you in on my little secret. It’s only been a secret since last Wednesday and since then I’ve slept, a lot, not even realizing this secret.
So here it is … Continue reading
Travel Theme: Peaceful
Alligator Pond is small fishing village on the southwestern coast of Jamaica and we spent a few peaceful hours walking the beach.
We will be taking a small detour through Jamaica for the next few posts as I get over my jet lag.
What does peaceful mean to you?
