Our week has ended in Corsica, and this morning we had to leave the cottage to make the drive north to take the ferry back. We stopped to take a few photos in the morning light while packing up the car. We are going to miss the quiet bergerie.
Driving along the eastern coast before heading inland.
A little ways outside of Corte, we hiked to Lac de Melu.
Although there was clear sky behind us, we were hiking up into settling clouds and impending storm. We had nearly reached the next lake above Melu when the wind and rain started. Since we were surrounded by gray and getting soaked in the sideways rain, we decided to make our way back down to continue the day's drive. Not far from the bottom (and not on a steep section) I slipped on the wet rocks, and fell pretty hard on my elbow. Ouch, but in a few hours I regained feeling in my fingers and had good range of motion.
We made a stop in the perched town of Corte (in the sunshine) to walk around it's cobbled roads before finishing the drive to Algajola for catching the next morning's ferry in Clavi.
