Day 0 - Melbourne

Distance walked: not a lot, Alcohol consumed: not a lot

but then I'm still in the Singapore Airlines lounge at Melbourne airport, so plenty of time yet.

I'm off to hike the Mare e Monti Sud in Corsica.   I'm actually starting at Sainte Lucie de Tallano (bottom right corner) as the official start point of Burgo is too small to be served by public transport.  In fact, it is so small it isn't even marked on this map.


After Corsica, the next stops are Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Arles, Lyon, Dijon and finally Paris.  I'm taking a cooking class or going on a food tour in each town.  I fully expect to come home at least 5kg heavier.  I'll be disappointed if I don't reach my goal.

Edited 25-Sep-2018: In the end I drank 1 gin & tonic and 3 glasses of red wine on the plane.  The G&T was with Bombay Sapphire Gin - not my favorite so I only had the one.  The red wine was a French cabernet-sauvignon-merlot blend.  Would have probably preferred the McLaren Vale shiraz but felt I should have the French wine.
