~*The Best Vacation Ever (V)*~

After leaving Sorrento and Amalfi, the cruise continued its journey towards the next destination...which is Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, France. On this day, we decided not to follow the tour / excursion...simply because there is not much interesting places here in Ajaccio and it's possible for us to wander around the city centre all by ourselves. The only famous places here in Ajaccio is the beach (once again), Napoleon Bonaparte's statue (together with his four brothers), Casa di Napoleon (the house in which Napoleon Bonaparte was born), the shopping area Maréchal-Joffre Place, which is the main square in Ajaccio. As usual, the colour of the sea water here is crystal clear and it's simply awesome!! Anyway, enjoy the pictures below:-

The pictures shown below were taken along Ajaccio's seaside (something like Gurney Drive)...

Relatively, there's nothing much to see in Ajaccio...don't think i will be returning here again in the future. I didn't really enjoy this place that much except for the beautiful beach...apart from that, it's just alright and nothing spectacular. Oh yeah, i wanna take this opportunity to thank ITCH for designing a new banner for me...i love it so much!! I know you are very busy at the moment and yet you took the effort to design a new banner for me...i really appreciate it...THANK YOU VERY MUCH ITCH!!!
