Corsica- The North


Giovanni and Sonia on their bike in the early morning on the Italian highway

We (Giovanni and Sonia on one motorbike and Fra and I on another) left Milan early on Saturday morning and drove to Vado Ligure close to Savona from where we took the ship to Bastia. We spent the time on board playing cards and watching the map of Corsica and reading the LonelyPlanet book while planning the trip together. I also made very barbie-like nails for the trip :)

That view of the mountains after mountains in a blue shade was so amazing!
Somewhere in the desert...

From Bastia we drove to Saint-Florent to see the city but continued through the desert to L'île-Rousse. We saw so amazing views with mountains after mountains in blue shades. Some cars were stopped by the roads to sell goat cheese.


Our tent neighbor :)

We found a good camping area, put up our tents and went to enjoy the evening and the night in the centre. We ate delicious fish meals and slept well in the camping area.


The next day we spent on the beaches around L'île-Rousse and admired the amazing view of mountains after mountains, turquoise water and really cute restaurants with delicious food.

 I spotted these cuties outside the bakery where we had breakfast :)

I was also happy that my French skills returned to my brain and I was able to communicate with the people :)

Once we bought a baguette and foie gras from the supermarket and drove to a nice place in the shadow to have a picnic. Then I also felt very french, sitting in a white summer skirt on a motorbike with a baguette in my hand :) :)

Aaaaaah det där havet! Ser faktiskt helt a-ma-zing ut! Du får hjälpa mig sen nångång att göra en helt crazy Europa-roadtrip. Sen nångång. Höh :)

P.S. Kan man faktiskt fotografera samtidigt som man åker motorcykel??

Hjälper gärna om jag kan. Jag tycker hela tiden att jag själv borde resa mer och mer :) :)

Nä, det kan man inte, typ 70% av bilderna är helt suddiga :) Men om man knäpper 600 i en vecka så finns det några enstaka användbara, haha :)

Jo res ihmeessä när du är där på ett så bra ställe att det är lite lättare att "nå" nya ställen :) Jag ska nog också bara jag får igång mig själv och min ekonomi. :)
