Welcome to Corsica

Corsica Trip Photos & Journal from Sept. 23 to Oct. 03, 2019

Country: Corsica

Duration: Sept. 23 to Oct. 03, 2019

Distance Traveled within the Country: ~850km

Originally we had not planned to go to Corsica. Landing in Frankfurt we were scheduled to take part in three (3) races, the Swimrun in Ingolstadt, Germany, the Ironman Italy and L’Eroica Gaiole in Chianti, Italy. As we had a two (2) week break between the two (2) races in Italy we decided to head for Corsica.

Memorable Impressions:
The small French Island of Corsica has something to offer for everyone. It might belong to France, but it has Italy written all over it. The mountain range in the centre of the Island reaches over 2400m, making it a paradise for hikers or climbers. Small villages with stone houses dot the countryside. Beautiful sandy beaches are found all around the Island. The northern part of Corsica has a few vineyards open for local wine and sausage tasting. There are even a few pre-historic sites to visit. Late September is already the off-season and we were spared the masstourists that would invade the island in the summer months. The campsites are located in nice spots with, for the most part, above standard facilities. The roads are well maintained, sometimes narrow and twisty, but overall relativly easy to get around. The only drawback is that it is surprisingly expensive.
