Have sampled the infamous sausisson (donkey salami)... yep not really a fan!

June 21 is the festival of music all around France, anyone can play, sing or set up a band in the evening, so walking the streets that night was pretty cool. Doesn't mean people are good tho, but most were!

Left Toulon on the 17th around lunch, went to the markets beforehand... fooooood!!!! All a great idea when you're buying, not so good when you're carting it back to the boat.

Outside the port is the military, all the naval boats are massif. Stopped a few hours out near an island for a swim, then the long and relaxing haul to Corsica.

... There is one thing though that I kept forgetting to tell you til now. Diane is getting spoiled. Not just by me, but by our Butler Mark too. One of the VIP perks is daily treats delivered to your cabin in the mid afternoon. These treats vary on rotation from canapies, to truffles, to chocolate covered strawberries, to cheeses, etc. Well, on the third day of the cruise Diane mentions to Mark that she really likes the ...

... It was good we got to the airport early because they didn't have my reservation on file! After a lot of worrying, it turns out that I made the reservation with my first name instead of my last name, whoops! Luckily, we got on the plane and it was really quick, only 40 minutes. After we landed, we picked up our rental car because there isn't much public transportation on the island, especially to the tiny town that Ross found our B&B in. Ross thought it would be fun and ...

AJACCIO IS GORGEOUS!! The cliffs along the shoreline with the mountains in the background, the buildings, everything- GORGEOUS! Shame I had some inductions to go to and was kept quite busy so I wasn't able to take any pictures or get off the boat, but that will change next time. One word for this port- stunning!

Day 184. Monte Cinto Effort 15/10/08 Decision time on how to climb Monte Cinto (2705m), Corsica's highest mountain: 1) Carry a light bag again, returning to sleep back at the hut. 2) Full bag weight, climb, go to picturesque Lizzo, stay ? 3) Full bag weight, climb, follow markers to d'Asco (where I reached yesterday) I decided to take my full load up the mountain making the call later. Going up the same route would be a German ...

... way so I changed tact. Instead I would navigate round the moutain to be in a good position for the sunrise. Once there I sat on a chilly but windless morning watching light for, over the horizon. Then the intense organge ball rising. It could have been magical but it soon dipped under clouds before its full glory was radiating. Decending the 400m meters to the refuge on loose ...

... us. We continue on, past a truck riddled with bullet holes and hit a road. We then see the trail heading off in the opposite direction from the way we know we have to head. After much deliberation (considering hitch-hiking) we turn back toward the mountain we had just spent an hour and a half descending and head back up. While doing so we run from some wild boar and it begins to rain. It only took us 45 ...

... sun lounge in Juan Les Pins with a half bottle of rose? Meanwhile back in Corsica Annie and Dave are sweating it out on the boat getting it ready heh heh. The owner arrives on board with his wife and a mate and promptly sacks annie, citing creative differences over galley cleanliness. She had a few hours to pack and leave the boat abnd fly back to England, so from now on we eat out every night and clean the place ...
