Sunday 26th November 2017

It was very very windy during the night and is still very windy this morning. During the night we moved the van so that instead of it being side on to the wind it was heading into it. This reduced the violent shaking of the van and we were able to get to sleep.

In this area of Cap Corse cattle roam freely in the low bush which covers most of the hillsides.

We wandered around Tollare for a while looking at the enormous waves.

Very impressive seas.

The chapel was locked.

I didn't investigate what this cross by the chapel was about as it was rather near to the very angry sea!

We moved on the short distance to the town of Macinaggio. There are quite a lot of unfriendly signs hereabouts!

We found an unrestricted parking place next to the harbour and stopped for the day. Here's the view out of the windscreen of our van.

We had a walk around town and bought two loaves of bread. This place seems to have sold it's soul to the god of pleasure boating. There is every facility for boats but all camper vanners find is unfriendly signs!

A Corsica Ferries ship went by. They still haven't replied to my email complaining about our shoddy treatment on board.

We walked along the coastal path going west from town.

The path soon climbed up into the low bush. I think they call it Maquis round here.

We came across this old cannon.

We saw this old defensive tower on a island out to sea.

We can see the Italian island of Elba from around here. It looks quite mountainous.

There were some impressive breaking waves on the rocks below the coastal path.

This was as far as we got. We turned round and retraced our steps to Macinaggio.

This evening the wind has finally died right down. Here's the view through our van windscreen now that it has got dark.

Today we traveled 11 miles (18 kilometres). We are at N42.95888 E9.45328
