(On the ferry)
It was a proper summer holiday - lots of swimming, snorkelling, sand-castle building, reading, ping pong, backgammon, and as many ice creams as the girls could eat. There were a few downsides - a lot of development going on, with what seems like poorly controlled construction of ugly buildings, and the few times we ate out were particularly disappointing (no seafood! And clearly they get so many tourists they don't have to count on repeat business...). June was definitely the month to go - hot and sunny, but without too many crowds. Sometimes it did feel like we had a beach to ourselves. But the roads were already congested and certain spots were already really crowded, especially Bonifacio, and I can't imagine what it's like in high season. Absolute l'enfer I would say.
But that wasn't our problem in June - it was magical. We'll definitely be back.
The beach we hiked into near Bonifacio - the water was incredibly clear (although cold...)
Hiking across the cliffs to Bonifacio - quite hot and tired by this point, but we revived at a café with crêpes, citron pressés, and some pétanque
'L'Escalier du Roi Aragon' - a hand-carved set of 45 degree steps from Bonifacio down to the sea. Incredible!
Boogie boarding
Beach time - and lots of it
