April 14th I'lle rousse to calvi
A great nights sleep initially until the wind started! Wipping around the tent, filling me with trepidation with regards a cycle into it. Luckily it had dropped a bit by the morning. Good bit of shopping done as Dave now has new panier holder and chain. Then we set off to Calvi. Unfortunately only a big red road to Calvi and though with a cycle path, unable to really appreciate the views which were stunning. Turqouise and blue ocean with white beaches. Not a bad cycle though and arrived in Calvi. Lovely marina with expensive coffees, beautiful citadel perched up on peninsula. Booked into a lovely campsite, with a pool that was heated and open with slides and everything. Finished off with the most amazing effect of the sunset on the mountains, stunning. Tour de France (scrabble) continued and form is being gained by the boy, 4:3. April 15th Calvi to Galeria Stunning cycle today, dramatic cliffs that did inspire vertiginous feelings in both of us. Beautiful red tinged cliffs and snow topped granite mountains in the centre. Truly a beautiful island. Galeria is a sleepy little place, mainly used for diving. Just the one campsite, 70's throwback. Hot day but quickly chilled, not before the 8th stage of TDF (scrabble) ended with all square. These last few stages are going to be tense, can the girl pull it back before the Giro commences in Italy. We shall see. Cold night but due to 3 layers of clothing worn not a bad nights sleep. |
