Into Corsica, the unknown
... that in parts seems quite run down, but it also had some very upmarket and expensive boutiques, making it somewhat of a juxtapose. Perhaps there is a lot of personal wealth, but less invested in the town. We did manage to hit a beach (finally) later in the day, as we hopped on bus no.4 to an area that had good beaches according to the tourist info. There was a funny incident where we were trying to buy our tickets on the bus, thinking it was a flat ...

Corse teminée
... pour une balade en voiture dans ce qu'on appelle le doigt de la Corse (voir la carte pour mieux comprendre). Ça nous a permis de rencontrer un rallye de voiture de collection qui faisaient le tour de la Corse en 3 ou 4 jours. Dommage que ma caméra n'était pas prête.
Malgré le changement d'horaire, nous avons grandement apprécié notre journée. Une petite randonnée dans la ville de Nonza pour y découvrir les terrasses et la plage de galets fût appréciée. On y ...
