AJACCIO, CORSICA

AJACCIO is Nappy Bonaparte's birthplace. Very small town overcrowded by the 2 cruise ships in dock. Easy walk to town, visited Bony's house, the cathedral & the fort. Read about Fred the hero who volunteered for secret ops & landed in Corse to prepare for liberation. Caught by Italian fascists & tortured. Refused to talk & committed suicide. Food still excellent, mushroom pate with the tiniest mushroom's on the side was delicious.

Been to some entertainment, the Shi# Show, the Scarlet deck party and a R&J Shakespeare's show by the acrobats - excellent. The whole set up here is very different to traditional cruises. Cunarders would be horrified at so much fun going on
