Since Sunday we are now here on the east coast of Korsika, the campground La Vetta near Porto Vecchio to be precise. This area is in general a good starting point for various trips\/hikes. It\u2018s not far from Bonifacio, close to the most famous and beautiful beaches of Corsica and also close to a lot of waterfalls and rock pools. The latter can be reached through various trails, but unfortunately it\u2018s a little bit to cold to swim in them by now as fall has now also reached Corsica. There\u2018s even fresh snow in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather wasn\u2018t particularly nice on Monday but we used a short window of sunshine to visit the very popular beach Plage Palomaggia (also very popular with the Instagrammers). The turquoise water and the fine white sand have a very Caribbean feel – although this is of course still \u201ejust\u201c the Mediterranean. Right now, in the off-season, it\u2018s indeed very beautiful. But I don\u2018t want to know how full this beach is in the peak season. Parking was already a challenge now. For a few hours this beach is quite nice, but we surfers really prefer the west coast with it\u2018s waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
