Arriving on Italian soil - Livorno first stop!

We said farewell to beautiful Bastia on Saturday after two wonderful weeks there. We must say thanks to Carol and Thierry whose flat we rented and who were such wonderful hosts. These photos were taken by Carol of us disembarking the ferry in Livorno and they were waiting to board, as they were returning from a trip to Parma, how things happen!

Next update from lovely Lucca, our home for the next 6 weeks.

Bastia

What a lovely place. We are staying in an apartment in the citadel, the old part of the town. Went on a long ride to the other side of the island during the week, those sorts of roads that wind up the mountain side and never seem to end. The scenery is stunning. Corsican cheese, wine, bread, beer and anything else we have eaten and drunk has been very tasty. Bastia is a real mix of three cultures Corsican French and Italian.
