On Tuesday Anna, Aurelien and I drove three hours to the southernmost tip of the island, to Bonifacio. It has a large bay with a harbor where vacationers bring their sailboats and yachts, to enjoy beautiful blue Mediterranean waters by day and fancy French restaurants by night. We rented a room of very convenient location, and after we had enjoyed our own dinner at the port, settled down for the night. The next morning (Wednesday), we went on a boat ride. Because the winds were particularly boistrous, once we got out of the bay we encountered some good-sized waves, which added to the fun!
Sometimes the boat tossed so much that we were bouncing off our seats; but this little twirp, safe and snug in his stroller, slept through the whole thing!
Bonifacio is famous for its "cliff cities," pictured here. Pretty cool, eh?
The white rock is called Calcaire; I think it's pretty.
Later we ate lunch at another of the French cafès, after which we did some shopping.
