Yeah, those. From Porto. Way up in the distance. I took a lot of pictures of them because I thought it would be the last time I saw them.
Little did I know…
That I would be climbing
and climbing…
yup, still clibming. It was over 7 km to the top and it was absolutely stunning. It is a UNESCO world heritage site between Porto and Piana. I think its called Speluncula or something.
It was really gorgeous, and made the climbing worth it.
The descent, was, of course, too short and sooo beautiful.
This day was tough. It was the first time my legs were tired when I stopped riding. I made it to Ajaccio and camped there. I rode my bike into town and only took one bag as a backpack. It was the first time riding without all the weight and I could barely control the bike! The handlebars were so twitchy. It is going to be so weird coming back to my IRO.

the drinking water in Corsica is great. You can drink out of any faucet and there are fountains along the roads.
the Mediterranean is nice too, sometimes a little cold, but it is so clear and sparkly!
