John has been teasing me about my obsession with postcards lately but that is how we decide where to go and what to see. I make him go to the first tabacco shop and sift through the postcard racks. Then we look at where it is and head that direction…John says we navigate by postcard…haha.
One of our latest finds was Scandola Nature Reserve. It is a Unesco World Heritage Site so you can imagine the landscaping is postcard-perfect. You cannot stay in the Reserve overnight but we got lucky and found a private cove with its own beach just as a boat was leaving so down went the anchor for the day. We took the dinghy around and went into some small caves. Supposedly it is the clearest water in the Med and we could see a lot of fish right from the boat and we could see the bottom and the sand. So we took out our snorkel gear and jumped in. A bit chilly at first but a relief from the heat of the sun. Not a big variety of fish but beautiful, none the less…that is until a jelly fish found me…OUCH…swim back to the boat as fast as you can…oh no, another one. Enough snorkeling for today. A little meat tenderizer and I am fine.
