Day 7 Ajaccio, Corsica, France

Ajaccio is our sort of place, dock in the town with no tender or shuttle bus: just get off the ship and walk around.

Nice late arrival so plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast and watch the arrival in daylight.

So off the boat as soon as we were allowed and after a quick look at the town we walked around the waterfront to see the beach front area. This beach looked nice but the sand was very coarse.

But these two were better sand.

 

 

 

So back to Ventura for lunch and an afternoon of sleeping, drinking, eating, swimming (even IG went in today as it was well warm!) and just looking around the ship!

Nice early departure so as with the sail in we had good light to see the views. We have a starboard cabin and so far this has been perfect for all the ports, so we watched Corsica sail by as we sipped our complimentary champagne: perfect!

As we sail up the western coast of Corsica we see how mountainous the island is with stunning scenery.

This is the end of the first week so we say goodbye to one of the three couple we have had as dinner companions and we start the long task of interviewing replacements! This will be difficult as we have all got along really well and had some great discussions. We are often the last to leave and the waiters are getting restless as they have to get the table relaid for the second sitting!
