Corsica 2007
It's been 1 week ago that we've come back from Corsica and here comes finally some impressions accompagnied with a couple of photos. So, "we" that is Jeff (Canadian), Amelie (French), Alessandro (Italian) and me (German) :-) A nice bunch of youngsters on our way to have a lot of fun for 4 days! *lol*
We started after work on Friday, 04/05/07. The cabines in the ferry were quite cool though a lot smaller than I thought and definitely no option for people with claustrophobia. We arrived early morning in Ajaccio, and started our trip towards the souths, passing Propriano and heading for Bonifacio which is the very most southern city in Corsica.
The next day my little car would fight a lot, a lot to climb up the roads to the north of Corsica which seems to be a totally different country. The landscape changed from cliffy rocks to redish mountains. We stopped for the Canyons of Piana and arrived in Calvi where we had good pizza, a nice walk at the harbour and an even nicer hotel.
The day after, we tested some Corsican wine in Patrimonia, saw the wonderful little touristic city of St. Florent, had a good sunbath at some of the wild beaches and arrived in the city of Bastia in the very north where we later on took the ferry to go back to Nice.
To sum up our trip: I'm really confident that we made the very best for the little time we had :-) We drove 700km to see the whole island - from the north to the south - , ate some good Corsican food like sausages, agreed on the fact that Corsican people are really unfriendly and rude (they jostle in the streets :-( ) , but most importantly we had a wonderful mix of nationalities, languages, genders, weather circumstances, landscapes etc. etc.
So I'd say whenever you have the possiblity to visit the little island, grab you car (a powerful one for the little mountain roads though :S) and enjoy :-)
