It was nice leaving Saint Florent, but of course the pass was a white out, but not nearly as bad as the previous evening for fog or the howling wind.

We arrived to Lile-Rousse just before the torrents of rain started! It did not last too long.

The forecast is still sketchy, but despite that we woke to sunshine again.

After a brief stop for gas and then at a bakery of coffee and a croissant we were excited to see the wild west coast of Corsica. We planned a 255 km route to stick as much as possible along the shore to Propriano.

The road at time was very narrow and hanging on the cliff. The views of the crystal blue sea were stunning.

Oh well we rerouted and found some great roads up over the mountains and thru sell villages hanging on the cliffs.

Then we headed up onto the pass for some spectacular scenery and a cool 9 degrees.

We did get caught in a short downpour on one of the passes, but the worst was when we were in the store getting groceries so we miss the bad part.

Arriving at Bonifacio we saw the stunning fort on the hill, but decided to go to the ferry to see about tickets and come back to see the very cute town. The time was 255 and the 330 ferry was in the dock. The ticket guy said the 5 pm was likely full and we did not want to chance it. A bonus was this ferry line is 10 E cheaper per bike for the crossing than the Moby line listed online.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
