Wednesday 29th November 2017




It rained off and on during the night at Marine de Solaro. In the morning we noticed that we had been joined overnight by a massive d.i.y. camper with Spanish number plates and a small red car with Italian plates which were obviously together. We set off south down the coast road and stopped for the day at Porto Vecchio. After surreptitiously emptying our toilet cassette in the very posh loos at the Harbourmaster's Office we found this nice parking place by the sea. It was raining. Here's the view from our van.





We saw this Egret on a nearby rock. (Thanks Tony and Jane for giving me its correct identity). 





To our amazement the huge d.i.y. camper and the little red car who had parked near us last night turned up yet again and parked a few metres away from us. They have two big dogs. Here's the camper.




Eventually the rain eased off a bit and we took a walk up to the old town on the hill. Here's the view looking back towards the harbour.





With a bit of telephoto we could see our van and the big d.i.y. job.




We entered the old town through this old gate.





Here's the church. The place was absolutely ravished by road works.





We eventually found an open food shop and  bought a loaf of bread. As we made our way back down the hill to our parking place we saw this nicely coloured tree.


Today we traveled 32 miles (52 kilometres). We are at N41.58897 E9.28620

Think your bird might be the little egret -a kind of heron, but I have no knowledge of birds so someone else will probably correct me. As to the plainess of Corsican churches it seems that the Gothic didn’t make it to Corsica so maybe that encouraged a greater simplicity or maybe it is a 21st century version of decluttering!
