Argh!! I am so sore today, especially going down anything.

We decided to do breakfast at a Boulangerie.  The breakfast at the hotel had a cost.  I had coffee already at the hotel.  We walked though Sartene

breakfast

wandered through old town.  

back to the hotel for hot chocolate and coffee.  Ah what a life.

The elevator was funny.  Because the hotel was built on a hill the lobby was on the 3rd floor.  We were down 2 floors.  So the lobby was "0" and we were "-2".  We had to push - and then 2. 

Then we started driving toward Ajaccio.  We made a multiple of view stops.

You just can not trust the Internet!! There have been several things that I had looked up and found that what I had looked up turned out to be not true.  The Garden of Bees was one of those things.  It was supposed to be open 10 am to noon during off season.  We were supposed to be able to do honey tasting.  The chestnut honey is supposed to be delicious.  Went on a very narrow curvy road. We got there in time but it was closed.  

We got to the hotel early for check in.  They suggested that we go eat lunch and come back.  

We did that.  Then we could check in.  We went to the Napoleon museum.

Then headed out to the Iles Sanguinaires.  We have been having a perfect day, weather-wise - sunny, coolish and not windy.  

Got my feet into the Mediterranean

We hiked up to the Genoan tower.  There are 90 of them built all over the island around 1530.  

Beautiful day.  

We went to the train station to get information for tomorrow. Then back to the hotel.  Then we went out for dinner at Don Quichotte.  I had the steak frites again.  Very good.  Nathan had a pasta with nuts and George had a seafood soup that was pureed.  It is hard for us to find things to order, partly because of the language. George and Nathan try to figure things out but there are a lot of words they do not know.  We had a delicious red wine.  I think I will look for Corsican wines when I get home.  

We are going to have to be up early tomorrow so I had a chance to blog tonight.  I hope that my legs are not so sore tomorrow.
