We started this new year wanting to travel more after the experience of last years travel. So we began strong going in February to Krakow, Poland. Krakow is a beautiful city filled with a lot of history. We were surprised about how young this city actually is. There are a lot of bars, restaurants, pubs and other hangout spots. Watch our previous videos, if you haven't jet, to see what we did. We came back from this trip with the mindset of planning another trip as soon as possible. We found where and when to go, just needed to book it. But March arrived and with it also the virus. We went in lockdown and had to spend three months inside. So this year didn't go as we expected. We can't leave our Island without encountering difficulties. What to do when you can't leave? Easy, be a tourist in our own 'backyard'. Being motorcyclists what better way to rediscover it than on our two wheels. We tried to go to places we hadn't been before or where we didn't spend enough time. And even though we couldn't go somewhere new we saw some amazing places. Confirming we are lucky to live in such a beautiful place. We would like to thank all our friends for coming with us on different bike tours.

We went just outside of Orroli, in the south of Sardinia, to visit one of the largest nuraghe. This nuraghe is also known as 'the Red Giant' due to its red colour. The red colour comes from the basalt stone used and from the Lichen growing on them. There is still so much to learn about this nuraghe, thankfully a group of archaeologist continues the research. Probably the structure was built during the 15th century BC. The highest tower used to reach a height of between 25 and 30 meters, making it one of the tallest structures of the Bronze Age in Europe. There are around 21 towers, not all in such a good shape as the main structure with its 5 towers. The area covered by the complex is ca. 5000 m2. It was fascinating to learning that this nuraghe had a drainage system that provided a cistern with water. If you happened to be nearby, we recommend coming to see this impressive complex. Different groups and organisations are now trying to make sure that this nuraghe and all of Sardinia will become part of the Unesco World Heritage.
