Now have a look at these pictures from the Golf of Figari.
Very special with all these rocks, beautiful ocean and sand.
Absolutely fantastic!

Bonifacio 2009 – Part IV
Bavella, the highlight of the Corsican mountain!
For a very good reason : from one side the mountain pass, and on the other side the forest. It summarizes itself the particularities of the island relief, with dramatic rock formation and colours from most delicate red to the darkest grey and all “sprinkled” with giant Laricio pines. The most beautiful panoramas on the Bavella Needles can be seen at the passed called Col de Bavella ( 1218m high ) inside the regional reserve.

North of Bonifacio, in the Corsica’s mountains, you can find and follow a marvelous river called “Solenzara”, which is also the name of the town where he Solenzara is entering into the sea.
Fantastic views and landscapes all along the river.

I would like to continue our trip report with the presentation of the very nice hotel we were in, A Cheda. Very nice small structure with a lot of charm. All rooms are unique and consist of an elegant mix of modern material and equipment and old stones and wood.
The restaurant is also very interesting. Good quality with a Mediterranean orientation and exciting typical Corsican menus.
The hotel is well positioned outside Bonifacio, but not so far. All around, a marvelous garden with beautiful (old) trees.
On top, a very cool but professional welcome. Nice dedicated people who are delivering good services for this 4* hotel.
Very warm recommendation from the whole family for this very good hotel!
Bonifacio 2009 – Part I
Some days off with the family in Bonifacio (south Corsica, France). Very interesting small town (2’600 inhabitants without the tourists ;-), the southernmost commune of Metropolitan France. The Upper City, actually a very old citadel, is dominating some absolutely fantastic limestone cliffs, sculpted by the ocean.
(As usual, click on the pictures to have an access to bigger formats).

Saint Barth – Part XXV
If you miss the sun (as I), some pictures from Saint Barth and the Saint Jean Beach near the airport.
Just fantastic…
Spring since 5 days, really?
I had a look at the weather forecast for our region this afternoon.
It looks really … great.
Hope it is better for you…
Saint Barth – Part XXIV
Oups, I have forgotten “’Anse des Cayes” where we have taken some pictures the day we have flown back.
Impressive light this day, with a lot of wind and big waves.
Very nice beach, not really for bathing / swimming ;-)
Saint Barth – Part XXIII
During our last day on the island, we have walked around the Toiny beach. Still quite windy, but again some fantastic and wild landscapes!
I like very much this picture of my son, looking at Saint Barth, in the wind.
This part of Saint Barth is really cool!
