We are 11 participants from different regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

We ride in three groups independently of each other, but meet up every now and then at some places and of course in the evenings at the hotel.

Beat, Hermann, Marcellus, Michi, Jörg, Gerd, Michael, Karl, Tom, Achim, Erik (fltr)

Once again, a lot of photos were taken on the tour.
I have sorted them all chronologically into a 4-minute video.

It's 800 miles from Berlin to Livorno. Together with Gerd, we drive first to Sterzing (shortly after the Brenner Pass). The next day we continue to Livorno to a campsite. We park trailer and car there for the week.
The other participants don't have quite as far to travel. They come from the Munich, Frankfurt/Mannheim and Graz areas.

We arrive in Olbia by ferry in the morning. First we look for a place to have breakfast.
Then we head north along the Costa Smeralda. There is a lot of fog and we can't see very much.
It gets better as we turn south. In the afternoon, we reach the Baja resort in Cea on the east coast. We will stay there for three nights.

We drive a loop along the coast to the south and then return through the mountains to Cea.
A first highlight in the morning: a closed bridge offers an opportunity to cross the river. Some of the participants take advantage of this. Not me.
Later, fantastic coastal views. However, the traffic before Cagliari gets heavier and heavier and we decide to turn off. As a result, we miss the flamingos of Cagliari.

Now we head into the mountains. We take a nice loop to the west. Up there we also expect to see free-roaming pigs. However, we only see one small herd.

At the end of the tour the beach Lido Orri

We continue to the very southwest of the island to the island of Sant'Antioco.
The weather forecast reported rain only in the north. We should get away with dry weather. But that didn't turn out to be the case.

We need rain gear

The last day.
We drive along the northern coast back east to Olbia. We have a funny incident with cows and at Capo Testa we have a magnificent view of Corsica.

Gerd stays behind for a while to take photos. Michi and I drive a little further along a very narrow but well-maintained country road and then we wait. I look to the side at a gate and there are lots of cows looking at me.

A farmer drives the cows out.

The cows run quickly towards Gerd, who suddenly finds himself surrounded by the herd.

Onto the ferry

Back in Livorno, we first head back to the campsite. The trailers get loaded there and after breakfast everyone heads home in different directions. The guys from Graz and Michi even go straight home on their bike.
We have 800 miles ahead of us. Home is pulling. We don't stay overnight and arrive in Berlin around midnight after 14 hours of driving.
