Corsica
We spent a good part of the morning walking around the pretty little seaside village of St. Florent. There were some big yachts in the harbor. It was especially fun watching the locals going to the bakery and then walking down the street with a few baguette loaves tucked under their arm. Their baguettes are very good. Then we travelled along a very windy hillside road to the coast. Up in the mountains it was very volcanic. The next town we came across was L'ille Rousse. Another pretty seaside village, with a nice beach. We ate lunch here before heading along the coast to Calvi. This town is gorgeous. Big yachts and boats in the harbor, lots of tourists and lots happening. We will stay the night here before heading south. It is taking us a little to get used to the switch from the Italian to the French language. The baking here is getting very interesting, very French. Very good!
