corsica FRANCE

DAY 12: Ajaccio Corsica France.
Corsica is a beautiful island, where sea and mountains meet. This mountainous Island as snow capped peaks. It is were Napolean was born.
We tendered to shore about 10 am and just walked around the town. It as very interesting a bit scary because no one speaks English. After seeing some of the sights, we found a café and had a nice lunch.
Corsican cheese panini and French fries with a glass of the vin de masion blanc. We then tendered back to the ship.
After some rest we had an early dinner at Le Bistro. I had double escargots, Chris had lobster/scallop martini and escargots. We both had a frog leg soup. This soup was like green pond slime with cut up frog legs. Very tasty. But ugly. Then for the main course I had duck a’la rounge, Chris had brased beef shank and tender loin. Dessert was an apple tart and the chocolate fondue.
We then started to figure out what the hell is happening tomorrow. Due to a holiday many things are closed. We are not able to stay the night in Rome as planned. We tried to buy train tickets on line but the credit cards keep getting declined. Some one else also tried and they were declined as well.
We have now sailed 4401 miles from NYC. We are now passing the lights of sardinia
