Sean Lennon Day 14, Bastia (Corsica), FR

Today we headed out with slightly diminished enthusiasm given our experiences yesterday. We found a place in the main square for breakfast that overcooked our food, but at least that's better than undercooked I suppose... We then started wandering a bit more hoping to discover for ourselves what others wouldn't tell us. And we found stuff. We started aimlessly wandering through nameless streets, up hills, through alleys and we found loads of restaurants, cafes, shops, name it. All in the residential areas I'm sure they don't want us to know about. We found some pretty stunning architecture, most things built in the mid 1800s, and some great views overlooking the city.

We eventually made our way back for our mid-evening beach time and tried to put together a plan for dinner. After checking out a few spots, we settled for a restaurant inside the old Citadelle which was light years better than last nights meal, but the first night was still the best... After eating, we tried to find a place to hang out, but the nightlife left something to be desired. Most thing shut down fairly early here, like by 11pm, which is usually when we just get started. So, feeling a little better about our lot in life after some better experiences today, we headed back to enjoy our balconies before trying to get some sleep.
