Arrived in Ajaccio

Friday, June 15th, 2007

After a delayed three and a half hour train ride, through the beatiful island of Corsica, we finally arrived in Ajaccio. We’ve already chosen a few hotels we would prefer to stay, but, and that was a huge mistake, we didn’t book!! Every bloody hotel in the city is fully booked - we found out […]

We’ve got two options: Ajaccio, Corsicas capital, or Corte, the former capital, which lies halfway between Bastia and Ajaccio in the mountains. As far as I know, Corte itself […]

Arrived in Bastia

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

After a 90 minutes flight we finally arrived at Bastia Airport. The Airport is a bit outside of the town (approx. 30 minutes), so that you have to take a taxi or the bus to get to Bastia. Our problem was, that the first bus was going at 10am but we arrived at 8 and […]
