With very little planning done for this trip, with having no idea till the last minute we were going to hire a car, we asked around and checked some tourist guides, which unanimously advised us to head to this north-eastern corner of Sardinia. The ferries themselves run frequently, however seemed costly for the relative short distance from the mainland. The reward however was the some of the most amazing clear waters I have ever seen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.warrenwilliams.co.nz\/2009\/AUG_0786.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.warrenwilliams.co.nz\/2009\/AUG_0786-s.jpg\" title=\"Isola Caprera\" alt=\"Isola Caprera\" height=\"267\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nFirst stop for the day, Isola Caprera, in the early morning before the crowds got in<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.warrenwilliams.co.nz\/2009\/AUG_0833.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.warrenwilliams.co.nz\/2009\/AUG_0833-s.jpg\" title=\"Isola Caprera Clear Water\" alt=\"Isola Caprera Clear Water\" height=\"400\" width=\"267\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHazel, Adele, Ayla &amp;
