FRANCE | Sunday, 3 May 2009 | Views [450]

ok let see if I can reach Nice in time for a ferry to corsica, 12pm already reached Canne that midway. Another 2 hour should be in nice. Easy. So all the way was that famous cote d azur, well what left of it. On about 60 km, if there 4 km with no house its a lot and those house arent even beautiful. So nop im really not impress by this coast. Once in Nice, I went straight to the port, good idea the boat was leaving 30 minute after. I wanted to go Calvi but that one was going Bastia, bah its corsica anyway let take it. In the office I meet Khurt a french staying in Grasse, I meet him again on the boat, and we talked all the way 5 hours it take to cross. Didnt expect that long. 5 hours of laught, that guy was funny and we said lot of stupid thing but was nice and made that trip lees long. He gave me is number if I wanted to visit grasse I could have a place to stay. Will see.

Arriving in corsica, 8 pm, nice welcome I add here, a guy said hey someone on a bike, we must applause him, so about 6 of them went on. I wave them and carried on. Still need a place to sleep.

First time I have to set camp in the dark. Eat a bit and job done bed time.

14 April the Cave

later start then expected but still was on the bike at 10am. Back wheel was making strange noise, I stoped to take a look, put the bike upside down, replace the wheel a bit and went on. Dunno what it was but its gone. 1H30 I stopped for a break near the sea and went down on the rock where I saw a cave. Humm could be a nice place to sleep !! was early, took me 30 minute to decide yea ok let sleep in the cave. Set a tarp at the entrance to cut the wind to get in, its still cold those night, put the tent on the floor and the matrices over it, camp set. First I went near the water ”about 10 meter from thhe cave but im on a higher level. Check in the water and hey what are those pink globe floating. Cool 3 medusa. Found some fishing string and a snail, let these the medusa. It did grab the snail with 2 tentacles. I tried to pull to bring it closer put no success. Went further on where I found a crab. Let these him to with that same snail. Got it out of it little home but was so small that I throw him back in. made a small fire after my food and now its bed time. Let hope I made a good choice.

Morning

well that was a lovely night, not cold at all. Sure my tarp did help. Did woke up a few time during the night mostly cuz of my arm hurting. Yea got hard time to sleep on that matrice and hate sleeping bag feel all jam in. wish I could sleep on my back.. did see a few shape, first was one that was looking like a baby bear, and another one was like a huge gargoyle trying to reach me with is arm. Yea you did guest was just reflection of the rock with shadow that was creating it. Wish I could take photo with me eye.
