The next day we headed back to the coast (by Landrover) and picked up the Selvaggio Blu Extreme trail. There were patches of blue sky, but also lots of clouds swirling around us.
Today's route involved rappelling (abseiling) down the cliff face to reach a series of ledges which we then scrambled and hiked along. This included climbing down an ancient shepherd's ladder made from an old tree trunk. After passing though a couple of natural stone arches we reached a series of caves down by the sea. We then traversed along rock ledges just above the crashing waves to finish our day's adventure.
It was a great day and the rain held off until we were hiking back up to the Landrover from the coast. But that didn't matter because we had dry clothes to change into and a warm bed to sleep in.

Sardinia - back on the trail
Preparing to descend to the bottom of the cliffs
Our descent begins
Nearly back on the ground
Down-climbing an ancient shepherd ladder
Arriving at the caves
The rugged coastline
Moving from one cave to another...
And another...
And another....
Natural stone arches on the trail
Views along the way
Almost down to sea level...
A traverse above the waves
Finally we reach the sea!
