 We, Deina and Aletta from Icoholics, are embarking on another journey. This time we are in Italy, on the beautiful island of Sardinia. We are hiking the Camino Minerario di Santa Barbara, in the southwest of Sardinia. The CMSB is a 500 kilometer long Camino, which is divided into 30 stages. We are hiking stage 11 till 18 from Montimanu to Nougi, 100 kilometers along this beautiful trail. We are walking on the most ancient land in Italy, along mountains, mines characterized by the millennial mining epic of Sardinia. Welcome to the CMSB. Buongiorno, buongiorno. It's day three. Yeah, it's day three. Woohoo, it's day three. Of the CMSB, that's what I wanted to say, but that was like a little tongue twister. Tongue twister. It's day three on the CMSB. This morning we woke up in the Posada of San Benedetto, and San Benedetto is a really cute old town with a lovely church with little umbrellas hanging over it. And it's like really a cozy old city, right? Yeah, we really enjoyed it. And after a long day yesterday with quite a lot of hiking and enjoying the caves, we arrived there pretty late. Today is a similar day, lengthwise, but a bit easier. There's a 600 meter climb, and after that, that's 1,100 meters descent towards Domas Novus, where we will be staying tonight. And in about one or two kilometers, we're going to pass a very old railway track. The railway track is not there anymore, but it's built in the 19th century, which is pretty cool. How did we know we were walking the wrong way? Well, we saw a sign, and then we looked left. And we saw a beautiful old structure, and we thought, what the railway track is supposed to be on the right, and it's on the left. So that's how we found out that we took the wrong turn accidentally. So if we have to go back now, we have to return five kilometers and walk it again. So I'm going to take the drone and show you what we missed. And along the whole trail, it smells absolutely amazing. As you can see, there are rosemary bushes here, and there are olive trees and other kind of herb plants, and the smells are absolutely incredible. And from here, it's only a little uphill, the last uphill from today, and from there on, it's a big descent from 1,200 meters descending, right? Mm-hmm. So this morning, we missed the old railway track, but guess what? There is another one. It's the Scavi Minera Su Coravau, if my Italian is correct for now. But the next two kilometers, we're walking on an old railway track, which is pretty cool. And afterwards, we have one more surprise for you. What are you doing, Aled? Like, there are caves and, I think, like old mine tunnels all along the trail. And from, like, the inside of the cave or the tunnel, there's, like, really cool air coming out. So during the hot days, it's really a refreshing moment to stand in front of a tunnel. That's crazy. What is it? Yeah, it's like a never-ending tunnel. Enjoying the Italian salami? Italians, people know how to make, like, good food, you know? Enjoying your food every single day. You have an incredible view behind you. What's that? I don't know. Can you see it? That's the San Giovanni Cave. And that's an 800 meter long cave. And we are walking straight. Yeah, and how's the lighting inside? From what we heard? Yeah. From what we heard, there should be pedestrian lights. But we saw a review on Google that only one in ten lights are working. So it's probably a bit dark. But I hear some comforting music as well. So I'm really curious how the experience will be. And we have our headlamps, of course. Yeah, of course. In case you don't want to hike through the tunnel, there's also a variant. So a different route that goes probably over the tunnel. So you won't have to go through the tunnel. So we have to get a hair net and a helmet to pass it. You look awesome. I know. It's the latest fashion. So the lady said just five euros to pass through? Yeah, five euros per person. And there's a QR code. And then you can pass through the cave. The San Giovanni Cave, with its 860 meters of internal road, is classified as the longest carriage cave in the world. The cave was created by a river. In the 19th century, a road was built through the cave to allow transport of timber first, and lead and zinc ores later. Transport first carried out by cart pulled by animals, but soon became motorized. This road was asphalted in the 70s and electric lights were installed along the road. The access to the San Giovanni Cave was close to cars only 10 years after the cave was declared a natural monument in 1989. This cave was really beautiful, right? Yeah, it was super, super beautiful. It was a bit dreamy, magical, and like there were... Flirmeuse? Oh, bed? I was like... Flirmeuse in Dutch. There were beds flying around and dogs, and it was really like... It was really dreamy, right? Yeah, dreamy and very calming actually. And like Aletta said, there were some reviews on Google that it was very bad lit, but there were lights everywhere and it was just incredible. So we can really recommend doing this hike instead of the variant. We didn't hike the variant, of course, so maybe we have to check that out one day, but this is something you really cannot miss in our opinion. From here, it's only 3 more kilometers to Domas Nova, as we were staying tonight. Some amazing people along the way, like Paolo is supposed to be a famous guy here and we just met a couple of people and we gave them beer and it just really makes this day really special. I absolutely love it. This is my dream place.
