Afro Headquarters

From Calvi to Bastia has been quite the experience. In the small town of île rousse we purchased front lights as we planned on riding through the upcoming desert at night. well just after midnight we had to stop because Jon could not go any further. so we ended up wild camping out in this desert. In the morning we woke up to one of the most spectacular views we have seen, would have missed it had we continued biking. Then biking up the western coast of the Cape of Corsica was breathtaking, so many awesome views and amazing beaches. Then we spent two days in Centuri, and got stung by jelly fish and sea urchines. Saturday we rode from Centuri to Marine de Sisco, the day started with an intense up hill then a nice gradual downhill then pretty much flat the rest of the way to Marine de Sisco. Today, sunday, we are catching a ferry from Bastia to mainland france. it will be a night ferry, so we will be lying on the deck watching the stars. Tomorrow we train to Grenoble, where we will start our ascent on the alps!
