Dune di Piscinas

We are back or still at Dune di Piscinas beach. @nurmalkurzraus, Neican and Fero drove on this morning. Their time is limited to the fall vacations and the ferry for the trip home is therefore pre-booked. Not everyone can travel as spontaneously as we do.

Today we want to view, edit and cut the photo and film material from the last few days here in the home office and write the appropriate blog post aboutDune di Piscinas publish. It always sounds so nice, but editing the films is more time-consuming than expected. Especially when you don't have the best network here on the beach, it takes even longer. And sometimes you could bite the edge of the table if the upload of the movie is supposed to take 30 minutes and at minute 28 there is spontaneously no network left. Okay, I confess, these are luxury problems.

The beach

The weather here in Dune di Piscinas The weather couldn't be better, 24 degrees and sunshine with a bright blue sky and a light wind, and the beach is truly wonderful. A fine sandy beach and deserted. There are also showers on the beach, what more could you want? There's even a beach hut that's open for a few hours in the afternoon. Parking is permitted here for € 6 per day, camping is unfortunately not, but is currently not controlled or even tolerated. There is even a hot shower for €1, but we didn't use it. The weather is so good that cold showers are actually pleasant. Or have we got used to it again?
The only drawback here are a few annoying flies, but every paradise has a catch.

The day flies by in our home office. By 6 p.m., we're already sitting in our chairs on the beach or in front of our van, as we're parked right on the beach, enjoying a sundowner. The sunset here is more beautiful than any Netflix.

We stay here the next day too. After working from home all day yesterday, we've earned a day off. The weather is fantastic, just like yesterday.

After the obligatory coffee, we lay out the solar bag. Our battery only shows 60 %, of course we're standing the wrong way round again, the folded-up roof with the solar panels is facing away from the sun. Typical Murphy's Law. But we don't want to re-park either, we want to look out at the sea through the sliding door.

Bimobil in Dune di Piscinas

During the course of the day, we keep getting in touch with our neighbor here in Dune di Piscinaswho is traveling with a Bimobil. You don't see such a large vehicle very often, it's a Bimobil EX 480 based on the Mercedes Atego 4×4. He used to drive a SpaceCamper Classic Open himself, the same model as ours.

He came to the Bimobil like the virgin to the child. His wife wanted a bit more comfort after the SpaceCamper. He actually wanted to order the Bimobil now and then only have it in 3 years when he retires. Bimobiles have a delivery time of just 3 years. And we thought we had waited a long time for our SpaceCamper.
But life often turns out differently than you think: one day he was standing next to a great Bimobile on the beach, got talking to the owner and got talking shop. After a while, the owner asked if he wanted to buy it. They quickly agreed on the price and the purchase was sealed with a handshake.

Too high for Dune di Piscinas

The Trail along the red river is out of the question for him because of his height, so he looks at our SpaceCamper with a regretful eye. The access road to this beach leads through an archway, which is actually high enough for him with its 3.50 m height, but as he had to round the bend, he had broken both rubber lips on the outside. No serious damage, it was quickly patched up with duct tape, but should be repaired.

On this beach here inDune di Piscinas are some interesting vehicles. As the driveway is quite sandy, normal vehicles without a 4×4 can hardly get up here. This and the proximity to the trail along the Red River make the site quite interesting.

The vehicle between us and the Bimobile is negligible. The white goods have smuggled themselves into the picture 😉
But respect, because this is the lady's first time driving the vehicle. She didn't know that her camper wouldn't actually make it through the sand. And lo and behold, she's in the front row. Sometimes it's good if you don't know everything. 

What we keep noticing here in Sardinia are the fighter jets that fly their 3- or 4-plane formations 1 or 2 times a day. Can anyone tell us who is flying there? I mean which country? Please write to us or comment here.

Real vs. beautiful photos

During the course of the day, I always take a few photos when I see something beautiful here in Dune di Piscinas see. Of course, also of our SpaceCamper. We always laugh a little at the Instagram influencers with their posed photos, whose vans look so over-decorated and impractical that we sometimes wonder whether it's even possible to drive them. And yet I find myself wanting to have nice photos too. So after the first snapshot of our camper, the colorful towels that were hanging on the car to dry are removed. It just looks nicer in the photos. Or what do you think? I'll upload both photos here - before and after. Real life vs. beautiful photo. Whereby my 1st snapshot is unfortunately always nicer than the 2nd photo.
