Off to Corsica. Probably...

This is the holiday we missed two years ago and again last year, and this year, we're really hoping to make it at last.

We both love Corsica, and have been many times (self-catering), but I always dreamed of staying in this beautiful hotel. It isn't posh - more "shabby chic" - but the views are quite staggering (see second photo. we had dinner there once). There is no air-conditioning or anything fancy like that (and the temp at the moment is in the 90s), but to wake up to that view had been a dream of ours.

We're off on Sunday at 6.10am (ugh) for a week.

Provided today's gastric flu-y thing (mine) doesn't last, and cause us to cancel for the third time...

  7. Thanks, Rosemary and Teresa. I'm still feeling queasy - seem to have caught it from a grandchild - but am determined to make it, even if I have to swim all the way!

  9. I'm hoping your lack of posts means you got away on your holiday, OK. I can quite see why you'd want to wake up to this view.
