Arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ferry docked punctually at 7:00. We had to be out of our cabin, with our luggage at 5:30! We found the station and boarded the train to Corte. The train winds its way impreesively on a single track up through the mountains. Our hotel was a little distance from the station so we had a coffee break at Grimaldi’s on the main street. After receiving our pack from the hotel we set off to explore Corte. We tried to follow the Sentiers du Patrimoine<\/a>. After a steep descent from the Belvedere, we went on a path by a stream. We enjoyed the path and had lunch on it but it came to a full stop and we realised we had gone wrong. Once on the correct path we found it was a short way back into Corte. After a very good ice cream we explored the museum. This was mainly about the history of maps of Corsica (and elsewhere). We also explored the ramparts of the citadel. Dinner at the museum restaurant was excellent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
