The story

At the beginning of July, Olga and I had to decide where to spend the usual August holidays, and surfing the web we found a very good offer with the company 'Moby' to reach Corsica by ferry from Genoa, so without thinking twice we booked it.

So on 5 August, with the car packed with everything needed to camp and wander, we boarded the big ship that in about 4 hours took us from Genoa to Bastia.

From the arrival on Corsican soil to the farewell 20 days later a fantastic adventure began.. We travelled almost all of Corsica far and wide, passing from stunning seaside spots to the mountains that cross the island, climbing without even noticing to the highest peak in the whole region (Mount Cinto).
