Tea? (Part 2)

I'd like to go to Corsica, but the tourist information they give out is a bit off-putting when they mention that rural Corsican /French road signs have the French translations obliterated by bullet holes.... yee-har!

I still want to take a bike to Corsica. It was great when I was there, and looks even better on the Tour coverage.

I fancy doing that too if/when my health/wealth permit.

I suggested Corsica to one of my sisters who was holiday-planning, but she reckoned that it would be much more expensive than more 'mainstream' destinations. Is that true?

@coffeejo Do not tell them about my secret rendezvous.

He will be standing by the statue and will be wearing a black cap emblazoned with a yellow logo. You will greet him as Hugo and ask after his elderly aunt. She has been to the seaside and caught a bucket load of crabs.

I will be wearing a red and white "Tour de Suisse" hat, and carrying a copy of "Geo" in Slovenian.

Mornings!

Yes it is a super place to ride a bike. Not long back from there (beat the Tour to Porto Vecchio and Ajaccio). Super mountains, quiet roads - lovely jubbley

So ... how expensive are Corsican holidays?

I had a quick look and could not find direct flights. I'd be looking at 4 hours at a French airport, 7 or 8 hours in total and about £400 for the return trip, which is about double what I used to pay to the Costa Blanca.

If you have to ask the price Colin then you can't afford it

I know that I can't afford it now - I'm just wondering if I might be able to afford it in the future!

Corsica looks a lovely place, but if I have to choose between one holiday there and two holidays somewhere else that is nice and half the price, then I'd go for the two!
