Our Energy balance

Torgit had already briefly mentioned that our parking heater went out last night. Which is still too cold at temperatures of 5-8 degrees at night. Although our SpaceCamper is well insulated. As the camping batteries were still relatively full, we checked the starter battery. Lo and behold, it was at fifty percent. This could be because we must have reached the switch for the lazer lamps the day before. Not only are they extremely bright, they also draw energy. Which of course makes no sense when the sun is shining and the engine is switched off and is unfortunately only noticeable at dusk.

So the plan for today was actually to do a little stretching and let the alternator do the work for us. Actually, how I love that word. Because we really didn't get very far. A few kilometers further on, we come across a salt works near Porto Botte.

Flamingos

A narrow path leads us between the salt works and the sea. On one side, we look out over the flooded salt works, complete with flamingos. They are not quite as pink here as you always see them in the great pictures. But no less fascinating. On the other side, old fishing boats lie on the beach. Everything is so peaceful. This is where we fit in. And so the day passes with photography, drone flights and a long walk around the salt works.

It's exciting to see everything that creeps and flies here. Every now and then something scurries into the water. Sometimes it splashes so loudly that you wonder what it was and whether you should be scared. When we get back to the bus, we cook outside and enjoy a beautiful sunset with an Ichnusa. We love this Sardinian beer.

Incidentally, this is a paradise for kitesurfers. There is also a kite school in the salt pans.

The Easter holidays are slowly approaching. There's more going on. Every now and then a few Italians drive past. Otherwise we haven't seen a soul for days, apart from the occasional shepherd. An elderly gentleman approached us in Porto Pinetto this morning and is now here with his wife and friends for an evening stroll. We are not only greeted, but also interviewed and asked about our tour. They know campers, but our van seems to be something special for many of them. They are Milanese who bought a house here a long time ago and are now spending more and more time here.
