As people were walking back from the end-of-trek-celebratory-dinner, a thunderstorm arrived.
It passed very slowly and 'stood' over our part of the island most of the night...

... and our last swim was before breakfast *burrows under blankets*

We could still see lightning over the main island when we got in the water

'We' being one other brave swimmer and a guide ;) and we just did two leisurely laps around the bay.

Back at the hotel, I got a call from 'our' diveshop, if I wanted to go diving with them that day, they'd pick me up with a zodiac at the jetty... in 5 minutes.

I said YES!, grabbed my divegrear and a protein bar and missed the final breakfast with getting awarded crossing and swimming certificates ;)
(which I'm not sad about, we've never done anything like that before and I really don't need that kind of thing)

And I got to do two good dives! *SPLASH*

In the afternoon I went back to a nice bar I'd found before, had a snack and got a last look at some of the routes we'd been swimming.

Budelli, Razzoli, Santa Maria, with Corsica in the background.

Then spend my last night on La Maddalena/Sardinia on the campground with the v unfriendly management, but location, location and there was that nice diveshop as well...

So I had another lovely swim.

Good night, Sardinia!

I'm envious but I do feel like you are appreciating it properly, if you know what I mean. Thanks for sharing!

It's been lovely to see a different side of Sardinia and in fact, to see a very different sort of holiday. Not something I will ever do, but sharing your experience of it has been great. I really appreciate you taking the time to post!

It all looks glorious, but I don't envy the physical effort you had to put in. Worth it though!
