Day 20: Corfu LGKR to Avignon LFMV – nearly home

FL120 over S Italy

After a rather leisurely breakfast, certainly compared to recent days, off to the airport to fly to Avignon, our route taking us across the Adriatic towards Brindisi, then across the heel of Italy to Naples and NW’wards towards Elba, then routing towards the French mainland leaving Corsica on our left. Good weather but with an inevitable headwind component so quite a long flight. Phil decided to have an enroute stop at Calvi so we arrived at Avignon before him – very satisfactory – and got the avgas bowser organised.

We stayed in the old city near the Palace des Papes and on our last night together, treated ourselves to a very good dinner.
