Check out 'our' plane: 1 x 737, 6 x passengers! (Arranged specially for Nigel's birthday). After a short hop south we picked up our 'Scenic' and carefully drove into Calvi on a beautiful morning, collecting essentials like cheese and wine. Our villa was superb, with views out across the bay, with the mountains beyond. Mon: Around the Golfe De Calvi to Lumio and down to the beach below. With cool beer at £4 a small bottle, we opted for a crate on the way home.
Tue: We took off early with a picnic around the coast road hairpins, South to Galeria. Lunch overlooking a white sand beach and then back through the interior valleys over the Col de Porcarello. We walked around the citadel in the afternoon.
Weds: Short walk along the cobbled streets to buy lunch, then to Baie d'Algajo, a wonderful little beach with azur water and white granite rocks. Dinner at U Minellu of small crustaceans in an amazing sauce, accompanied by awful accordian playing! Thurs: Finally having worked out the airconditioning, we had a lovely sleep to preceed a tour of the mountain villages. We enjoyed dangerous ravines, coffee with a view,coffee shop owner with an attitude, red kites wit
h altitude, followed by a flop on the white sand near L'ille Rousse. Fri: Pool, beach, kiteboarders. 
Sat: More lazing on the local beaches. We captured The Island Of Beauty in pictures ahead of our drive across the high bits to Bastia for the flights home. As ever, we made a film of the week.
