Bonifacio

We had a horrible crossing from Santa Teresa to Bonifacio sea was all over the place, very rolly, and it RAINED! Thank goodness it was only a two hour trip. We moored up with assistance from the boat next door which was about to depart no idea where the Marina staff were. Sky cleared so we went for a wander up to old town, across drawbridge ( see photo for how they lifted drawbridge) and right out to the point overlooking the harbour entrance. We hadn’t been able to appreciate it on our way in what with wind waves and rain. Then looked in at the cemetery with all it’s mausoleums, it was like a village for small people. Little houses around an open square. After a taster of Corsican Myrtle wine, almost Port like, we went back to boat and then paid o/s port fee we had paid a deposit on line already. OK evening meal but we know we are in France everything is more expensive €68 a night versus €24 in Santa Teresa and latte’s up to €3 or 4 versus €1.50. Hopefully a couple of nights at anchor to even things up.Read more
