We arrived in Ajaccio, Corsica on a Sunday am. It was so quiet it dawned on us that the same fate awaited us again regarding our luggage. Our plan initially was to leave the baggage at one of the two bars where they provide this drop off service and they would not be open. No need to drag our luggage all over kingdom come as the next bus departing to our final destination was sitting with its engine running.
Jim ran into the depot and secured our tickets and made sure we were on the right bus and off we went. Up and down the rolling hills of the island we barreled taking in the sights of buildings, the architecture and
landscape as we zoomed by.
We would be arriving early but we knew it would be great to have down time near the water.
The bus driver was very accommodating and pointed our hotel. Sally and I would be staying in a hotel within 3-4 blocks from Jim's lodging at his friend Alain's summer home.
Alain was indeed surprised with our early arrival but so gracious as he fervently worked on our lunch and refused to let us do anything as he insisted we rest as he finished up the stuffed melon with carpaccio and a salmon lunch extraordinaire.
Corsica was just the icing on the cake to complete our French adventure. Stay tuned for more in Corsica TBT.
