Corsica

Spending the last few nights in Corsica in the tiny hamlet of Feliceto where had a 3 star hotel with a swimming pool for the kids and even internet access for me. An old hotel that had once been the manor of a family who had moved to South America and came back wealthy. It was nice to be forced to relax by the pool for 2 days as there was nothing to do in the town itself. Even the grocery store only had about 40 items and was only open in the morning.
We went for a small hike out of town and I made the mistake of mentioning that there would be nothing to see. We passed by a waterfall and then ventured into a place that had an old sign saying Auberge something. It turned out to be an old olive pressing mill. The owner was more than happy to show us how it worked and startled Guy when he flipped a switch and the huge old wooden cogs and stone grinding wheel came to life. Of course, thinking we wouldn't see anything interesting I had left the camera behind at the hotel.

Ile Rousse
Again we took some very curvy roads roads to get to Ile Rousse on the isle of Corsica. A very busy little port town where I stayed with the kids while Kathy returned our rental car at the airport that was about a half hour away. Claude-Marie had also brought her car so she was able to drive Kathy back. I would have liked to spend more time at this port town even though it was quite touristy.

Again a very large ferry will take us back to the French mainland. Even though we are getting homesick, as we have been away for 9 months now, Claude-Marie has made our trip to Corsica an incredible adventure.
