We spent a day at Poetto beach. Finally, a beach with sand!! The water was crystal clear and really cool.
After 3 hours sleep we made our way up to Alghero on the west coast of Sardegna. We walked around for ages with our luggage in tow before we decided to make our way up to Sassari and stayed in a really antique B&B.
Our next stop was Corsica, a French island just north of Sardegna. Our ferry arrived in Bonifacio. It is a very unique town that was built high on top of cliffs and is enclosed within a fortress. The walls surrounding the town are right on the edge of the cliffs which weave in and out of the ocean.
Bonifacio is a holiday spot for the rich and famous...there were dozens of super-yatchs lining the port. It was fun having a stickybeak into the boats and trying to imagine what life would be like for them!
We took a bus ride to Ajaccio on the north coast of Corsica. It was nice walking around the town, but it was quite a sleepy town.
Took another ferry - this time to Nice in France. It was good to be back on mainland Europe with some hustle and bustle. The beach in Nice was exactly as I pictured it – pebbles on the shore with very light blue water that stretched for kilometres. Didn’t stay sunbaking for long, the pebbles were too hard to lie on! Went for a walk through the old town and went to a gelataria that sold tomato and basil icecream!
We did a day trip to Monaco. It was very glitzy – every second car that drove past us was either a Ferrari, Maserati or Rolls Royce! There were even advertisements for private jets in the windows.
Mum, Dad and Zia left me in Nice to continue their travels through Spain and France and I continued my busabout adventures.
