We have been in Corsica for about 10 days now. It is a very beautiful place with great beaches and anchorages and also a rugged, mountainous and green interior to explore. Like most islands of the Med, Corsica has a long history of conflict and invasion so there are many historic fortifications to explore. We have been joined in Corsica by Amanda's sister Nicola along with Chris, Zoe and Ramsay. They have been staying in nice hotels and where possible we have anchored nearby. This (above), for example, is their hotel in Porto Vecchio. Each day or so they move hotels while we hop along the coast so we can meet up. They have joined us on the boat most days which seems to involve a lot of this activity. And in the evenings a bit of this activity. Today we took a drive into the mountains visiting local villages and then heading for the hills. It is very green and lush here, especially compared to the Greek islands that we have been used to. Our ultimate destination today was a river valley in the hills where there are lots of pools for swimming. The water is very cool but it is so nice to swim in fresh water for a change and feel cool and resfeshed. We spent all afternoon swimming and exploring.
