Very overcast conditions in Bastia this morningThe 4 of us set off on foot for a stroll around the townSt Jean Baptiste Cathedral overlooks the port in Bastia
We capture a glimpse of the Tangaroa through the yachts moored in the portThe birthday boy!!To get our exercise for the day, we all walk all the way up to the fort to get a better view over the port
Great views from the old Fort in BastiaWe managed to find some shelter under a portico from the downpour which lasted about 15 minutesKate looks quite dwarfed beside the massive church doorsMarket day today in BastiaLe Jean Bart Restaurant, situated in the main port looked like a nice choice for Ric’s Birthday lunchIt is great to have our friends from home coming to visit us while they are on holiday in EuropeA nice vino bianco was perfect after our long walkRic and I both chose the delicious and light fish and vegetables for lunch today
Happy Birthday Ric !!Rod also seems to be enjoying his creme brulee at lunch
Early evening we went for another walk, firstly going up and along the top of the breakwaterDark clouds in the distance are returningThe wind and the waves appear to be getting strongerWe all got quite windblown out on the seawall
Nobody seems to be sitting outside tonight at the restaurants along near the harbourAlthough the peak season has well and truely finished there we still a few tourists in townFairy lights still glowing through empty streets in the town tonightAs was forecast for the evening and overnight, high winds brought a huge surge into the port which covered the quay with a river of water and made all the boats rock and roll for most of the night
