_ Sardinia and Italy bv Bike __
Apr isolated by the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of
^ Italy, the Isle of Sardinia lies wild, unspoiled, and awaiting exploration.
Sardinia's captivating natural landscape is dotted with ruins, small hospitable
towns, vibrant murals, caves, and natural springs. Two UO students, Charma
Boeschen and Matt White, explored the desolate backroads of the island by
bicycle. After leaving Sardinia, the pair traveled from the bustling seaport city
of Naples along the breathtaking cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, to the narrow,
twisting, country roads of hilltop towns like Siena and San Giminano. After
nearly two months they arrived at the birthplace of the Renaissance: Florence,
Italy. Join us for this exciting slide show! Free.
