Corsica trip.
My first trip to Corsica was 17 years ago. I was too young so my friends better asked for my mom permission. It was really awesome trip and it stayed in my heard as one of my most favorite destination. Since that I wanted to go back. I promised Nina to take her there already few years ago but we wasn’t lucky because there was no water. This year we decided to give it a chance. We packed all our white water gear, kayaks, food, baby gear and toys and left for our 10 days adventure. After 12 hours we got to the ferry which tooks us to Corsica. First night we spent on the beach. At the morning we were surrounded with beautiful view. Snowy mountains behind our back and blue sea in front of us. Just a wonderful look. We would love to stay on the beach but on the other hand we were excited to find some white water. We knew Corsica has almost always troubles with the water levels. We wanted to start with some basic runs like Asko but it was dry so we had to move to Golo and started there. We did some Corsica’s “tradidional” rivers but my most favorite run was Cody river. It's a small river with lot of drops. It took us few hours to get down but it was a big fun. We had to always switch with Nina so one of us look after Petko but it wasn’t big problem because there were so much to do around. After kayaking we used to go mountain biking all together. Actually it were even harder trainings as on the water. Corisica has very mountainous landscape and we biked only steep uphills and than fast downhills back down. Evenings were always the same routine, good dinner, a bit of french wine and lot of baguetes with tasty cheese, sunset at the beach and of course a long sleep to gain enery for next day. I would say 10 days wasn’t enough. We had perfect time in Corsica. While almost whole Europe had cold rainy weather we enjoyed sunny warm days in one of the most beautiful nature I ever seen. For me this is a place to go with or without kayaks!
