We have spent another warm sunny day ashore, this time in Corsica at Ajaccio. This is the birth place of Napoleon Bonapart so there is a bit of a theme going on in town. The town is a working fishing port, ferry terminal, marina and cruise ship destination. Lots of boat trips to see the costal scenery which looks very attractive, but there is not enough time on a short cruise stop. There are mountains all around the picturesque natural harbour. We browsed the Sunday markets on the quay and in the square. We had enough time for a paddle on the sandy beach, moules frites and a disgustingly calorific crepe, before the 4:30 departure.
As previous TUI cruisers we were invited to meet the crew this evening for bubbles and nibbles. This is really just an excuse to find who has done the most TUI cruises. The winner with 50, yes 50, was presented with a bottle of bubbly
Our next destination has changed from Palamos to Barcelona because of a potential wind problem getting out of Palamos harbour on Monday evening.
We decided to go and try the hot stone restaurant where you cook your own main course on a hot (460 deg) stone at your table. Rosemary had lamb cutlets and I had beef medallion and lobster tail. Both were very nice.
