Next few days spent out and about in Ajaccio, home of Napoleon and Hello Kitty fanatics... even saw the Hello Kitty car. Population around 60,000 and the largest city in Corsica.

Pretty mellow place, dogs galore including some old lady with her asthmatic pug called Oscar being dominated by one of the many ...

... that cruised past, you could see them coming from miles away!! Harnesses were worn too just in case you decided to go for an unplanned night time swim.

Made it to land about 5.30pm on the 18th, dammit no swimming (well maybe a quick jump in) as there were jellies of a different conventional kind.

Temperature has been a mild 36 degrees...

... strawberries (naturally). So every day since then Mark brings both the regular treat of the day, plus a plate of strawberries. If the treat of the day was the strawberries, we would get 2 plates of them. Then about a week ago, Diane mentions to Mark that she really liked the giant soft pretzels that we sometimes got last year on the Sun, and she was sad they weren't offered on the Gem. Mark said he would talk to the chef ...

... with chestnut flour. Elizabeth lives on the top floor with her husband and three kids. Her and her husband moved to Corsica from Belgium to "start a new life" and remodeled the entire house by themselves. During the day, we took a long drive to explore the towns around Campo. First, we went to Filitosa, a site with evidence of settlers on Corsica 10,000 years ago. Then we went to Sartene, an old town on the side of a mountain where we had lunch and soft serve ice cream, which ...

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 ...

Day 183. Let's get physical; Cirque de la Solitude, doppio! 14/10/08 Stage 4, 6hrs (suggested for 1way), 7kms So what's my endurance, physical & mental strength like? Well I know my back is weak and shoulder sore. So if take a light backpack and return back to Refuge de Tighjettu today I can just see what ground I cover. It's meant to take 6 hours to reach Refuge d'Asco Stagnu. I may not reach it as the plan was to turn around at 13:30 no matter where I was on the stage. Things ...
