Mototrip 2025 - Third day – Corsica

 

I woke up at 5 am and took my kindle to read my book. Soon after I started reading, I fell asleep again, but not for long because we needed to get ready to take off. The traffic around Venice was awful, but we managed to get away fast and we went to an autogrill and had these amazing pastries and finally a cappuccino! I felt so happy and satisfied of this breakfast full of excitement for the day. Our destination was Livorno and the ferry to Corsica. The ferry was huge; I have been once on a ferry in Norway, but a quite smaller one if I compare it to this one.

While waiting for the lift on the ferry I saw a girl with whom we used to be in the same class in high school. I got surprised of this meeting; we hugged each other and chatted for an hour. She is very different from what she was like in high school. I am very happy for her; she has 3 daughters and a happy marriage!

After talking with her, I went to be with our group and we spent 4 hours talking, sleeping, walking around, I used the time to write notes for the blog in the notebook I bought there.

My first impression of Corsica was that those people know how to fight for their rights. Soon after we got off the ferry there was a protest and the people have put on fire a trash can in the middle of the street.

The night was planned to be in a camping. Surprisingly, there were no sheets, no soap or towels but for 2 people we paid 80 euros. I was amazed, but this was not the only thing that surprised me, we had to pay a deposit of 300 euros. I find this an absolute madness. However, the place was nice, the pizza that I had for dinner was good and the beach was super.

We had some drinks before going to bed and it was a nice day overall.
