Circoli di Li Muri
Monday, September 4th was not a good day. Initially I rose early
surreptitiously to fill the tank with water at the taps of the
marina out the sight of a fellow. Then I moved towards Capo Testa.
What disappointment all is concreted almost impossible to approach
the coast with my vehicle. The coasts of Sardinia are second homes
or of hiring confer the Germanic premium cars. As in France the
crisis benefits the upper-class! The two only pictures are those of
the headlight and a rock. I continued my road up to Porto Polo, it
was another story a “gangster penguin” asked for the payment of the
car park for the day. I made half-turn towards Palau, the harbor of
loading for the Maddalena Islands. But sight crowd of tourists,
cars, motor bikes etc I gave up sharing this promiscuity on the
island. Traffic in Palau is very problematic, worthy of the
obstructions of Paris at the Middle Ages. According to my road plan
I was to bivouac in Porto d'Orso. But at the end of the street I ran
up against a raised wall hiding the sight of the sea. In cause of
despair I modified my road plan to go in the interior of the grounds
to visit the Tomba dei giganti out the horde of the tourists
followers from the sun-bathing. The area of Arzachena is rich in
archeological sites in particular the two tombs of giants as well as
the nuragic Prisgiona village. The unit dates back Bronze Age
(1800-1600 BC). On the road of di Li Muri I found a bivouac in an
not-enclosed field.

Sassari
On Tuesday, September 5th was dedicated to the rise of Monte Limbara
and to the visit of the Roman church Nostra Signora. But the devil
decided some differently. In the laces of Limbara the engine LED
switched on again. I stopped at 1180 m high. The temperature of the
engine was certainly high, but did not reach the danger zone. I
decided to wait to let it go down. At the end of one hour I started
again, the always lit LED. I returned to Mercedes-Benz in Sassari. I
was accepted and my car assumption of responsibility immediately.
Diagnosis: one does not know, the receptionist asked to me whether I
wished that he switch off the LED. I was affirmative. I told him
that tomorrow I would give the truck in the laces of Monte Limbara;
as a horse which refuses the obstacle, it should be given on the
obstacle again. He gave me his consent. I returned to bivouac at my
car park become usual, and for the neighbors too.

Monte Limbara
The next morning I left early. The devil did not appear in the laces
and I reached without any difficulty the end of the road to 1336 m
high in the clouds. I decided to expect their disappearance with the
sun at zenith. Then finally I remained to bivouac on the spot.

Porto Torres, Trans en Provence, Villa Thébaïde
On Thursday, September 7th I was to visit Tempio Pausania then
Aggius which I did not reach because the engine indicator on
dashboard switch on again. Back to Mercedes-Benz at Sassari the
receptionist gave me an appointment the next week. In front of this
recurring error not-solved by M-B I decided to return to France. In
Porto Torres I even exchanged the round trip ticket for a departure
in the evening. I was installed on a car park close the port to
expect the loading at 20:00. I unloaded the next morning in Toulon
around 7:30 to arrive at the Villa Thébaïde around 9:00 extremely
disappointed to have curtailed my stay in Sardinia.
