Alghero, Sardinia
Our first full day in Alghero, involved getting to know the local town, streets filled with various architecture, and enjoying the heat as it roasted towards 35°C.
Alghero Waterfront, streets are empty in the morning and lunch periods
A house in Alghero, overlooking the sea
Not sure what the purpose of these stones were, but created my own statue 😉
Aloe Vera growing by the fortified town
Courtyard in Alghero, where I enjoyed my first Sardinian Pizza
In the late afternoon, we caught a ferry to Neptune’s Grotto
Here we are, passing Lazzaretto and the textured cliff faces
Massive cliffs at Isola Foradada
Blue waters at Isola Foradada
Cliffs at Capo Caccia – Can you see the path cut into the cliff?
The bottom of the 656 steps leading from the top of Capo Caccia
Our arrival to Neptune’s Grotto, was rather precarious as we battled large sea swells, and had to literally walk the moving plank into the cave.
First cavern inside Neptune’s Grotto, located underneath the massive Capo Caccia cliffs
People are dwarfed to the scale of the Grotto
Panoramic spanning almost 180 degrees with around 10 photos stitched together
Light at the end of the tunnel
Entering the waters near Tramariglio
More cliff detail near Lazzaretto, in the evening light
