🐚💕🐠SARDINIA DAY 7: BAUNEI COAST👙🌴🇮🇹 I’m sharing v 🐚💕🐠SARDINIA DAY 7: BAUNEI COAST👙🌴🇮🇹

I’m sharing videos about my 2 week Sardinia road trip and today we are exploring the Baunei Coast - home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!

We started the day renting a boat in Cala Gonone before immediately taking off to Cala Goloritzé and trying to beat the crowds! After a few hours of swimming we continued to make our way down the coastline. Between the bright blue water and the tall white cliffs it was a magical experience. 

Eventually we made our way back to @hotelsugologone where we had a romantic evening under the stars and in their garden. It was so good I forgot to film most of it 🙃

📌Save this post if you are looking for Sardinia travel guides. We’ve still got a full week left so follow along!

Yes, this can lead to a lot of “what if” scenarios…I guess I’m fortunate I’ve never come face to face with someone in my home OR assaulting me where I’ve felt the need to use force. 

I think even in the U.S. the laws can heavily vary depending on the state. 

What do you think??
