Ajaccio, Corsica

On 27th of October we arrived in Corsica. The sail over was nice and going the strait of Gibraltar was really cool. The sail was mainly along the coast and we got in a storm which was kind off scary but more exciting. Since we were going so fast through the storm we had a lot of time to kill so we anchored off the coast of Mallorca. That was really nice and we had our first swim call. At seven a.m we got woken up for fitness and instead of doing our normal fitness we got to go swimming. Everyone was jumping off the side and the water was clear, bright blue and warm. On the first day in Corsica Opa and Mary were there to see me. Which was really nice. We walked around Ajaccio and had a great lunch. Then we went to see the house of Napoleon. That was really interesting. Then we went for an amazing dinner. Thanks again Opa and Mary! The next day we went on a hike which was 6 km up a mountain. The views were amazing. After the hike we went for a picnic on the beach. The rest of the day we had free time. The next day we went to the governor of Ajaccio's house and he made a very nice speech. We had the rest of the day free. And today our last day we have the whole day off. I'm in an internet cafe right now and I'll be hitting the beach for the rest of the day :)
Next stop: Malta!!!
