Impressions from Corsica

Corsica is the island of beauty!

And that is really true. High mountains, beautiful beaches, magic mountain villages, historical architecture, disparate animals, many different nature sceneries … and everywhere is an atmosphere of the typical French countryside. This could be a short description of this island.

Our tent camp was built on the west sea coast in the beautiful nature scenery where every morning four donkeys gave us waking-up time in further new day. We had to adjust our schedule of our planned mountain trips because driving by car was too slow on this island, mainly when wanted to travel from see coast to mountains. However we saw and discovered a lot of beautiful mountain places, picturesque villages, interesting cities and views at see coast. As advantages we appreciated the summer weather with lower temperatures for doing sporting activities, good privacy in the camp and on the beach. The special experience for us were unexpected floods during one stronger storm when we had to rescue our whole tent and everything placed in it. We climbed up one interesting hiking trail under Monte d’Oro summit. We tested more good French wines. We saw a lot of white and black pigs and manycoloured goats in mountain areas. The fox took from us our garbage and the fog scratched on our tent wall over night. Everything was going well with one exception – worse weather at the end of our stay.

We are sure we were not the last time on this island. :o)
