Ajaccio- Corsica

We docked earlier than expected at Ajaccio in Corsica. Looking out the window over the marina it looks lovely. At breakfast we got a better view because we were higher and there were more windows! 

The town is typically French in style. Narrow streets, tall apartment buildings in many different colours, all needing a good coat of paint. 

Because this is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, there are statues of him all over! 

We went on a Little Train for a trip around the centre of the town. It was quite interesting. 

The market in the centre of the village was interesting. Lots of vegetables, fruits, cheeses and charcuterie. Some huge tomatoes on one stall for €5 per kg. You would only get 2 they were so big! 

We wandered through the tourist street and bought nothing except a paper for Roger! Had a lovely gelato then walked slowly back to the ship in time for lunch. 

Barcelona tomorrow so the ship will be leaving a bit earlier than yesterday.
