The taxi driver agreed and even had quite some fun taking the detour. We drove as close as possible to the hashpoint, but it turned out that the coordinates lie on private property (allotments or orchards). At that moment, the entrance gate was open, but we asked the owner and he (obviously) said “no”, earning me the No Trespassing achievement. Anyway, we saw a family with children on the property and the taxi driver had a short chat with the owner. It was a beautiful sight and, overall, a joyful experience for all of us, including the taxi driver.

Location

On a private allotment or orchard, about 70 meters away from the closest road, in Santa Barbara, Province of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. The closest settlements are Sarroch in northeast direction and Villa San Pietro in south direction.

This day’s weather: sunny / mild-warm

Participants

  • Green guy! (talk)
  • Green guy!’s mother (no consent to publish photos of her)
  • Green guy!’s father (no consent to publish photos of him)
  • Italian taxi driver (no consent to publish photos of him)

Plans

  1. After landing in Cagliari Airport, take the car rented beforehand (around 7:00–7:30 pm)
  2. On the way towards the hotel Flamingo Resort & Spa, take a quick detour to visit the hashpoint
  3. After that, continue towards the hotel with the rental car

Expedition

Shockingly for us, there was a problem with the car rental at Cagliari Airport: We rented the car for exactly 10:30 am even though we knew we’d arrive later – because my parents thought “10:30 am” meant “from 10:30 am to any later time”. The result: Someone else received the rental car meant for us. We could barely convince the desk person to refund the rental fee (as we had paid in advance).

With no rental car being available for us, reaching the coordinates seemed to be almost impossible both in the technological and time constraint kind (as it was 7:30 pm at the time and we wanted to have dinner at the hotel).

We settled on the alternative to get driven to the hotel by taxi. After approaching one, we immediately asked the driver whether he would be willing to take a detour from the regular route. Communication was somewhat difficult, as the Italian driver only understands a few bits of English (and no German).

  • "sun setting over sea"

    Beautiful seaside sunset

  • "looking at sunset through windshield"

    Taxi front-seat perspective

  • "sun setting over wetland"

    Did I capture a flamingo on camera?

  • "sun setting"

    More solar beauty

  • "road tunnel ahead"

    Approaching a short tunnel

The taxi driver agreed and even had quite some fun taking the detour. We drove as close as possible to the hashpoint, but it turned out that the coordinates lie on private property (allotments or orchards). At that moment, the entrance gate was open, but we asked the owner and he (obviously) said “no”, earning me the No Trespassing achievement. Anyway, we saw a family with children on the property and the taxi driver had a short chat with the owner. It was a beautiful sight and, overall, a joyful experience for all of us, including the taxi driver.

  • "open entrance gate with private garden behind"

    Respecting private property even though the gate is open (ignore the phone case’s flap on the top right)

  • "looking at private garden from taxi"

    One final view at the hashsite from our taxi while doing a u-turn

"entrance sign of Flamingo Hotel Resort"
Hotel reached

Finally, we continued to our hotel, Flamingo Resort & Spa, to start our actual vacation. Upon arriving, we gave the taxi driver a big tip for the detour.

Tracklog: Taxi ride from airport to hotel

  • I forgot to immediately start the tracklog.
  • Direction: south
  • GPS accuracy: good
  • Markers show all locations where I took photos.


Achievements

First-time

I earned these for the first time from this geohash.
