Corsica - Part 2

Macinaggio to St Florent. We rode over the same pass we had gone on the previous day but turned South this time along the West coast. We stayed at Hotel Tettola which was right on the beach and also had a pool. Very nice! Most of the hotels on the trip were on the water and we went swimming most days after biking. The Mediterranean sea was very clean around Corsica. You could see down further than you could swim down (20 foot visibility?). The water was warm (~75) so very nice swimming.
Sometimes it was hard to make forward progress on the bikes since the scenery was always changing and we stopped a lot to take in the views. Great day with a lot of balcony roads along the Mediterranean.

St Florent to Ile Rousse. We stayed at the Hotel La Pietra which was one of the nicer hotels on the trip. We stayed there two nights. On the Mediterranean out on a point. Good swimming and nice pool also. Ile Rousse was a nice town and easy walk from the hotel. Had nice dinners in town and also at the hotel on the second night.
