Mediterranean Cruise
Island of Corsica
A few pictures of the coast around the Pointe de la Perata.
It is a lot more peaceful than it is in town.

We liked Corsica a lot, and were quite happy when we had to
stay an extra day when the ship had an electrical problem.
(We did not get to Casablanca, but I never did like the movie anyway!).

One cannot visit Corsica without seeing the statue of Napoleon with his brothers. He is on the horse.
The Napoléon Monument at Place d’Austerlitz.
This is the house in which Napoleon was born. Seething with tourists, unfortunately. We went again the next day, and it was even worse!
Tour de la Perata. It is a Genovese watchtower on top of the Pointe de la Perata. The tower was built in 1608.
Looking across parts of the capital, Ajaccio, and the Bay of Calvi. Corsica is 183 kilometres long and 83 kilometres wide.
I was unable to get close to the tower, so I have used one of the excellent photographs from:
