We were lucky to have broken down in a very small port village with a good engineer. Pietro confirmed that we needed now parts for our water pump and ordered them. Now we just had to make the best of the next week, including a drive to Cagliari to take Sarah to the airport on Friday and pick up James on Saturday.
 |
| We rented 3 kayaks in Cala Gonone to paddle down the coast to beach and a show cave |
 |
| The show cave is 1 km long and only accessible from the sea; we paddled in, though most visitors take tour boats. The full cave extends 20 km and joins with other cave systems inland |
 |
| We stopped for a swim at this beach |
 |
| it took us nearly 2 hours to walk to the gorge |
 |
| when you get there you pay 5 euro's to scramble over boulders for a few hundred metres (the hard hats are optional) |
 |
| But its worth it, the gorge is several hundred meters deep, but at its narrowest point, only 2 sisters wide. |
The following day we followed the main road south, stopping at 3 of the impressive bronze and iron age settlements on route.
Cagliari is the major port on the south coast of the island and the place where we decided to leave Cara Mara for the winter. It was good to explore the town and look at the options for winter storage
