Helloo!
Whilst on our holiday in Corsica, one day we decided that we'd take a bus and travel to one of the other larger towns. It was about 40 minutes away which wasn't to bad however, it did include a nice bumpy route over the mountains (I did feel a lil bit queasy). The town we visited is called Bastia and is much larger than the town we were staying in, Saint Florent. It had many more shops and restaurants compared to our small port town.

Hey!

Hey,
During the second week of our holiday, Saint Florent were holding their annual festival called Porto Latino. It's about a week long and includes a four day music festival. We attended the third day of the festival and saw a number of different artists. It was held at the Citadelle which is basically an old castle-like monument which has a brilliant view over the harbor at Saint Florent.

The first band we watched is called Shake Shake Go and my parents had actually seen them before! They toured with James Blunt a few months back and were really good. They're a folk band with members from Wales and France with a female lead singer and male band. They were really enjoyable to listen to and their single England Skies is available now!

Hiya!
On the Friday of our first week in Corsica we took a boat trip around part of the island and visited various different beaches. We had a awesome guide for the day whose name was Luca, shoutout to him and his company which he runs with his brother in Saint Florent and also Sardina. His English was super good and he made the day really fun. The last time I had been on a boat trip was back in Cuba, two years ago so it was great to back out on the ocean!

Our first stop was back to Lotu beach but a little bit further along. The water was just as clear as the days before and was refreshing to swim in. We stayed in this area for about an hour and ate on the boat too. Luca (or should I say his girlfriend) had prepared a pasta cabonara dish which was really good! He also had a brill playlist for the boat which included The Eagles - Hotel California and Nickleback - How You Remind Me. I mean come on, these are classics. Harry (my brother) also got to steer the boat which was very entertaining to watch. We ended up going quite off-course to the right. He tried bless him.

Luca then took us to a beach a bit further along from Lotu called Saleccia. It was just as perfect as Lotu but maybe like x1000 clearer. We all fell in love with the beach right away and decided that we would definitely return. We swam in the ocean and Harry and Luca dived off the boat.

Hey!
As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been writing over the past two weeks because I have been on a family holiday to Corsica! Corsica is a French island in between France and Italy and they predominantly speak French there. Instead of giving you a long massive post for you all I'm going to split it up into the main things that we did and do a few mini posts focusing on those.

The first few days were mostly just exploring the town we were staying in (Saint Florent) and getting to know the area where we were going to be for two weeks. Saint Florent has a harbor which plays host to a mind-boggling amount of expensive boats. Some looked like hotels or small houses rather than boats! It's a old town with very pretty streets and insanely good food (I basically lived off of pizza and raviloi for two weeks, it was too damn good).
There is also a old castle kinda building (my mum compared to Old Sarum in Salisbury) at the top of the town called the Citadelle which is incredibly beautiful and is the venue for the annual Porto Latino festival, more on that in a few posts time. We headed up there one evening where there was this, one of many, insane sunsets shedding this orange glow around us.
