Visit to Bonifacio

Cycling tour to the Forêt de Bonifatu

4.7.2024 Ajaccio I disembarked at around 8:00 a.m. The first thing I did was go to the nearby market. It's a shame that I'm not allowed to bring most of the products on board,...

After a few days of 'hiking break' in Germany, I continue on the GR 20 in Corsica. I have heard a lot about this trail. It crosses Corsica from north to south, is very...

Corsica, the first port of our silver wedding anniversary trip with the Mein Schiff 2 from Tui Cruises.

Es muss nicht immer ein Restaurant sein

Eigentlich sollten wir nach Korsika und Sardinien fahren. Wegen eines Sturmtiefs wurde dieser Plan aber geändert und so liefen wir die drei größten Städte Korsikas an.

Today's route planning has a special feature: For the first time on the journey, we are not just drifting (according to the 'follow your nose' principle), but heading north...

When we woke up the next morning, despite the plentiful indulgence in local alcoholic beverages the night before, we felt surprisingly good. We opened the shutters of our room...

Farewell to Galeria We actually find it a bit difficult Galeria, this beautiful, peaceful place and also the pleasant leaving the hotel. You could also stay a few days...

Our host has a green thumb. On the breakfast terrace, we felt almost like in a botanical garden. It's great to start the day in this great ambiance and be pampered...

Several times a day, a ferry departs from Santa Teresa to Bonifacio in Corsica. The only hop of our mini-island hopping. We decided on the 12 o'clock departure to be able...

Logbook entry Captain Wim: I'll take this in hand, the helmsman is talking too much! After setting course from Corte to Bonifaccio, I had to shout at my crew of yokels halfway...

Today has shown that there is also a Rhineland jovial nature in the Captain, as he absolutely wanted to ride the train. And since he prefers to move without moving his own feet,...

After being able to train our calves and thighs again yesterday, the admiral and I were looking forward to a relaxed day. From Solenzara (where the sun rose directly in front of...

Supplement to yesterday evening: The evening at Palombaggia Beach was nice and it was certainly the right decision to protect Captain from the ravenous mosquitoes and to seal...

Captain Wimbolino sailed with his crew to Palombaggia Beach today. At first, we landed in the wrong anchorage. Sailing in went smoothly - it could be that we didn't take the...

The captain insisted on a pitch with a sea view. Well, since Porto Vecchio is located in a bay, it's more like a sea view. So calm and without waves. Before that, the captain...

I failed! I probably should have missed fewer navigation courses... When I looked up our destination today - the thermal springs 'Bains de Caldane' in the lake atlas and set our...

Today was more of a transfer day. We left the campsite in Arône, whose beach was really cool, and headed towards Piana, which is absolutely beautiful and where we stocked up on...

Logbook entry by Captain Wim: 'You don't choose a helmsman, you take him with the ship! At first, he seemed quite suitable, but today I wonder how we made it this far. As a...

Waking up by the river in the morning was impressive. The captain was up early and lying next to me, of all places?! This was due to the fact that the back side of the boat...

...after anchoring in Calvi for three nights, Captain Wim was eager to set sail and instructed his crew to hoist the sails. The wind carried us 40km down the west coast towards...

We had agreed early on where we wanted to camp first in Corsica. Calvi! North-west of Bastia was to be the first destination. As quickly became apparent, there are more road...

🤔 one may not understand why one gets up at 05.15h on vacation! We didn't really understand this morning either, even though we knew that the ferry to Corsica was leaving at...
