Sunday 15 May
As predicted it is blowing a hoolley - a mistral, and although the sky was quite grey to start with it is now brilliantly blue and warm but impossible to sit out on deck. We went for a walk up to the citadel to see what the sea was looking like on the other side of the bay and made sure that we absolutely did not want to go anywhere today and probably not tomorrow either. So going to get down to a lunch of bread and very smelly French cheese in a moment and a walk to the beach this afternoon. Have found a great shop full of Corsican food, wine and beer so have a plan to go back there to stock up as well - we are really having to suffer the wind.
Monday 16 May
Had a complete change of plan last night - must have been the beer and wine. Decided it was crazy to go to Ajaccio and back in the next few days especially as it is so lovely here and we are now staying until Wednesday when we will make our way east towards St Florent which is in (hopefully) easy reach of Bastia airport and our visitors arriving on Sunday - very excited about seeing them. So actually went to the beach this afternoon and have now got that out of my system - it didnt look too busy yesterday afternoon and we found a nice spot today and then everyone else decided they rather liked it too. But a beautiful day and the wind has dropped almost completely.
Wow sounds lovely, especially a day on the beach! Bit grey and overcast here although not cold. Good idea to stay in one place for a bit especially as ur visitors will keep u busy! Having a busy time socialising and not nearly enough packing! Hope ur plan works to get to the airport xxx
