This morning we left Macinaggio and headed south down the east coast of Cap Corse. Just north of Bastia we stopped briefly for Ann to investigate this grandiose cemetery.

Our sat nav managed to take us round rather than through Bastia (the largest city on Corsica) and from there on to the Etang de Biguglia, a large wetland area. We stopped to look at the roman ruins at Mariana.

Also here is the impressive 12th Century church of Santa Maria Assunta which was apparently built of stone pilfered from the adjoining roman ruins.

The inside of the church is quite austere.

There are some interesting markings on the doorstep at the front of the church.

We moved on south down the east coast of Corsica and stopped for the day at Moriani Plage where we found this nice quiet unrestricted car park by the sea. Ann did some van cleaning.

We took a walk around town and saw this plaque.

A multilingual sign interprets the plaque's meaning. Corsica was sold to France by the Genoans and is still not an independent country to this day.

We visited the tourist office and picked up a free tourist map of Corsica. You can look down to this display in the tourist office basement.

I imagine this tells you what all the items in the display are. 

We went out for a meal in a restaurant by the car park we are staying at. Ann had Pizza and Tiramisu. I had fish soup, grilled fish and a local style apple tart. We had a bottle of local wine to go with the meal.

Today we traveled 62 miles (100 kilometres). We are at N42.37561 E9.53174
