Admiral and Lady Pelican just finished another episode of Amazing race. Little Fiat Panda took us from Marseille(Marseilles) to Aiacciu(Ajaccio) via Corsica ferries from Toulon. The sandy beaches in Corse(Corsica) are so beautiful and fishes swim around us. The time ran fast and we only got to visit southwest portion of Corsica and its capital Corti(Corte). Certainly we invited ourselves to the childhood residence of Napoleon 1er, Empereur des Francais.
After calling Ile Lavazzi, we took a Mobyline ferry from Bonifacio to Santa Teressa, Sardinia(Sardegna). Surprised by the Sardinia flag; there are four Moor's heads on the four quadrants of a red cross compared to one Moor's head of Corsica(Corse).
Stayed Stintino near Golfo dell's Asinara and enjoyed La Pelosa beach, "Happy fish festival" with free sardines and vino, carabone, dance, ...
Certainly white donkeys, wild boars, goats, sea turtles paid us few visits in Asinara. We also called Grotta di Nettuno (Neptune's Grotto) and enjoyed suckling pigs and spent some euros in Alghero.
After unforgettable few days of sun bathing, we boarded a Grani Navi Veloci ferry from Porto Torres to Genova(Genoa) and then onward to Cote D'Azur. More to come.
Corsica, Sardinia and French Riviera, "We shall return!". That's the way of life!
