Day 3: Bonifacio, Corsica






It was smooth seas, beautiful weather and 10am as we arrived at the beautiful and dramatic cliffs of Corsica. Multi-story old buildings were perched atop sheer cliffs and they completely followed the topography of the land; some being set high on the cliffs while others were in the deepest ravines.
We were taken around the cliff by the ship’s zodiac launch into the beautiful coastal village of Bonificio which is located at the base of a walled city. We walked the coastal streets and then made the steep ascent to the walled city where we enjoyed not only the quaint town and a local coffee, but also the wonderful view down to our ship.
So fare we have meet some wonderful and very interesting friends including a couple from Perth, the ex-Swedish ambassador to Russia and his wife, Susan from North Carolina and Avi and Noleen a wonderful Jewish couple from Boston.
