After enjoying a quiet and leisurely breakfast on our balcony at the hotel in Pietrabugno (just outside Bastia), we saddled up the ponies and hiked 2km down the hill to the dock well in advance of our ferry's departure at 13:30. We had time for one last visit to a boulangerie for a cafe prior to boarding. An easy passage to the mainland brought us to Livorno at 17:40. We walked to the gate entrance where a shuttle bus was waiting to bring pedestrian passengers into the main bus terminus in town. The bus driver was not at all concerned that we had no tickets for the ride and just wavewd us on with a friendly smile. He was also very helpful upon arrival at the main terminus by explaining that we needed the nbr 3 bus which would be leaving in 5 minutes to get to Bellavista, our destinnation 5.3 km outside of town.
The nbr 3 bus dropped us off within a two minute walk to the hostel, Villa Morrazzana.
