July 25 - Travel Day, Departure for Calvi

We manage to leave Saint-Florent at nine in the morning. Katja only gave a displeased look once when I took the table her coffee cup was on to pack it.
The drive goes smoothly, and we arrive just before eleven at the Dolce Vita campsite, located five kilometers before Calvi right by the sea.
Yes, the site is right next to the railway and in the flight path of Calvi Airport. It sounds terrible but is actually hardly disturbing. The airport and therefore the flights are small and quite quiet, and on the railway track, only short, slow regional trains run, and that rarely.
But the pitch is a dream. We are under a dense canopy of pine crowns, which provide cool shade from nine in the morning until sunset.
And I can even hang my hammock! One tree is thick enough that Katja has to make a cord from a rope she bought at the campsite shop, but then it’s hung up.
We have decided to stay here for five nights, especially since the beach is also a dream.
After testing our new umbrella at the beach, we bicycle to Calvi for dinner in the evening. To be continued.
