Nous y avons appris une particularité culturelle Corse: il ne faut JAMAIS changer de place ou de couples entre les repas... ça change toute l'organisation des tables et nous vaut des remontrances outragées du serveur. Ça semble s'opposer à l'ordre établi des insulaires comme d'avoir les repas à heure fixée, alors que de notre point de vue Nord-Américain où le but d'une une entreprise est de servir le client à l'heure qui lui convient ;)
N42 17.194, E8 53.572, 1385m
A small retro-style hotel, but at least there are beds, showers, supplies and good meals, the road zigzaging up and down the pass is actually a curiosity that we've become unused to ;)
We've learned there a Corsican cultural particularity: you better NEVER change seating arrangements between meals... it seems to mess up the tables organisation and brings angry rebutals from waiters. It seems to go against the insular's sense of order just like the tradition of having meals served at a precise time, in opposition to our north-american perspective where the purpose of a business is to serve the client at the time he chooses ;)

At 75km long, the Golo is indeed Corsica's biggest river... Here at the bottom of the Lonca valley, the fact that it did not rain between may 15th and september show the lowest flow of the summer.

A few tents, the source of the Golo, some Taculas, cows grazing around the rocks, wild mouflons on the cliffs, a natural hole through the mountain face, a nice place to enjoy the terrace.

A very homely mountain lodge built of good timbers in an unusual architecture, full of fellow trekkers and lively discussions, add a delicious hot meal and we had trouble finding a reason to go to sleep in order to stay in shape!

Sometimes the large flat rocks of the GR20 requires some accrobatics in order to get down without sliding.

Also known as Alpine Cough, they are quite often seen on the GR20, flocks of 10 to 30 of these can follow the trekkers until they stop to eat, then swoop in to eat the leftover crumbs.

Catching our breath in the shade of the mountain, after climbing up the chains towards the sun to get out of the Cirque of Solitude. When I'm telling you that the GR20 is made of slopes, rocks and mountains, I'm not kidding!
