Beautiful morning watching the sun rise over the water and lighting up the island of Corsica (Corse in French). An island I didn’t even know about until just a little while ago, and now I’m about to arrive (unintentional detour though it was).

Deciding that I needed to stay positive and make the best of things I greeted the...

Day 180. Road to Ota 11/10/08 6am start, ouch. Caught the 6.30am bus to Ajaccio that was running on Corsican time. While waiting I re-read the lonely planet on my days route. It was quite specific, no buses from Ajaccio to Porto from Oct 10, yesterday. Do I miss the West coast and attack the GR20 North from the East, or go West. Wing-it, I conti...

When I got to Genova, I realized I have too many days left to just ride to Rome, so I decided to dip back into France and visit the island of Corsica for a few days. Or maybe I just wanted an excuse to spend a little more time in France and eat more tabouli. On an island, you are constantly reminded that Mother Nature rules here. The elements ar...

Tonight is one of these days so we happily agree to enjoy an authentic Corsican dinner with our hosts and the other guests of the bed and breakfast . We ha...
