🐚💕🐠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!

Let me clarify: According to Italian law, these se Let me clarify: According to Italian law, these sentences ARE justified. I guess I’m just curious if Italians vs Americans agree that the sentencing is fair or not. 

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??

I’m sharing detailed videos about how I spent a 2 weeks trip through Northern Sardinia. If you haven’t seen my other videos, check out what to do in Costa Smeralda (we spent 5 days there!). 

We changed up location and headed to @hotelsugologone. From start to finish we had an INCREDIBLE time here. Everywhere you turn there are pops of color and there is something to discover on the property. 

While today we soaked up the hotel vibes, tomorrow we are off on an exciting boating adventure - maybe seeing the world’s most beautiful beach? 🏝️
