    October 4, 2024, Western Mediterranean ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

    What's in Ajaccio?
    - Its the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte
    -Musee Fesch - most important French museum after the Louve
    - We had a tour planned to see this and more BUT instead had a lecture on Italy and then one on Early Modern Habsburg-Ottoman Rivalry
    -WHY? Because we could not dock (see photos) as we were stuck in the harbor with many other boats and ferries that were not allowed in due to a dockworkers strike by unionized transport workers! Next time ..
    - Note: the interesting cloud formations
