http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18112 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18112 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17950 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17950 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17911 burlesquedaily.blogspot.com]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17911 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17270
From the villages of Oliena and Orgosolo with those beautiful and controversial murales (graffiti) to Mamoiada and its mysterious carnival masks; from the spectacular views of the supramonte of Oliena down to the woods of Gavoi, Tonara, Fonni.

And, if you still miss Sardinia’s blue waters among all this green, head for Tortoli and visit its golden beaches, or go all the way up to the Gulf of Orosei stopping every now and then to enjoy its paradise bays.

There is so much you can do and see in this area of Sardinia, trekking, hiking, visiting some incredible archaeological sites such as Tiscali - yes, this was a Sardinian site long before being a Sardinian web company!

Our last excursion included a visit to Orgosolo and an outdoor lunch with the shepherds - delicious! If you like strong cheese, fresh bread and suckling pig that is.

We also took a guided tour of the mountains (Supramonte of Orgosolo) in an off-road vehicle. It was great, the shape of the rocks, the vegetation and the animals that you can view are unbelievable.

We finally allowed ourselves some time to view the Museum of the Masks in Mamoiada and to discover more about the ancient rite of carnival here. Nothing like you can imagine. Forget about the lovely, elegant masks of the Venice carnival. Here it is a totally different story!

Plan your itinerary very well. Roads are not always very good and because of the mountains you might need to drive much longer than what you expected to cover such small distances.

Orosei is a good place to reach both stunning beaches (e.g. Cala Gonone, Cala Liberotto) and the mountains (Oliena, Orgosolo, Mamoiada and Dorgali) for day excursions.

If you are staying for at least a week, it is worth spending a few nights in a agriturismo (farm house) around here.

From Arbatax you can easily reach the beautiful costs of Tortoli, Barisardo, Santa Maria Navarrese, Baunei and head for the mountains around Tonara, Aritzo, Sorgono where, again, you should spend a few nights.

In both cases you should hire a car, although some places can be reached in the summer season with the Trenino Verde, a tourist train.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17270 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16755 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16755 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15413

If you look for the creative and famous, you should check Krisha and Gazgolder. But be aware, for both it's very hard to get in. Moscow is known for its tough face control and these two clubs are among the most difficult to enter. Want to see some photos from the parties there? Check my blog: www.moscow-blog.com - I post regular reviews about Moscows clubs and lounges.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9486
