Evisa to Calacuccia

Last night was probably the best view we have ever had from a campsite
pitch. Sadly the showers didn't quite match up and were stone cold. When
the sun goes down at 1000m it certainly gets cold so we didn't sit
around much after dinner. We had been warned that it would get really
cold during the night but it seemed ok to us.

In the morning I cycled down into to Evisa to get provisions and met a
South African father and daughter who had just come down from the Col de
Vergio, which was where we were heading. It was past 11 when we got
going and the sun was beating down, however the road up to the Col de
Vergio is through a forest and the shade kept the worst of the heat off
us. It's 10km from Evisa to the summit at 1477m and then 20km down
without peddling. We stopped to picnic at the summit and met a man from
Munich doing a solo bike tour of the island. On the way down into
Calacuccia we came upon a group of piglets by the side of the road. They
were very friendly and quite happy to have their photos taken.

We are currently having a drink in the hotel next to the camp site and
tonight will be eating out since it is likely to be cold again.
