This is my response to the weekly travel theme: motion.
This weeks photo challenge from WordPress is a little, um, difficult. Companionable? Like, really? Are there not enough cute kitten and puppy pictures out there? The photo Gods want more? Must I really succumb to the challenge and post a photo of a furry animal? I think not. Here the definitions provided by WP which was sourced here.
Companion:
I don’t live with any furry companions nor do I have any associates and I certainly keep the talk about The Hub to a bare minimum – there’s some things I wish to keep sacred. A handbook & guide I have but it seems rather lame to use a photo of the cover of one of the many popular travel guides, and I don’t know a low ranking Knight … yet.
Therefore …
Islands and oceans are my companions.
This was my response to the Weekly WordPress Challenge: Companionable. In hindsight, I wish I would have taken a photo of my big feet in Jamaica. Oh well, next time.
What does companion mean to you? Is it a loved one, a good book or a spoonful of Nutella?
I’m not complaining, really, I’m not. I’m happy summer is here, I’m happy the sky is blue and the birds are singing their lovely summer songs, but … it’s HOT in Sardinia. So hot in fact that I’m pretty sure I’m melting. So hot in fact, that the winds have pushed the hot African heat our way turning our once lovely veranda into a 35° melting pot.
When the hot burning heat of Africa is upon us, what do we do? Well, for starters we head to the nearest beach and strip down to our birthday bathing suits and take a nice long swim in the waters of the Mediterranean.

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!

Sardinia – Summer-like temperatures at the end of November – dreams do come true. Beautiful blue skies and calm waters called our names; we hiked to the top of a mountain to collect fresh mushrooms in the early morning rays; we hiked along the rugged coastline in the hot afternoon sun and we relaxed seaside sharing plenty of laughs.
This is what we saw … (click on any image to view in a larger format.)

It’s that time of year again, that time when the temperature drops and the cool winds begin to blow. It’s also that time of year when the sun hasn’t finished with summer; where the heat of the afternoon makes it … Continue reading

I’m busy playing tour guide with visiting friends from the mainland. This afternoon we hit the beach, and what a wonderful beach it is. We hiked 250 meters down a mountain to reach this stunning stretch of coast. This secret beach is accessible by foot or boat; I like to call it Bedrock Beach.
