Trains in Corsica/Sardinia
Thinking of going from the northern tip of Corsica to the southern tip of Sardinia preferably by train. June/July. Has anyone done this? Is looks possible. Any suggestions?
|
And why is it so expensive to get to Corsica??
Anyone?? |
Thomas Cook European Railway Timetable (last year's) to the rescue. And of course The Man in Seat 61.
Am I talking to myself?? :) |
|
Thanks Michael. And I've also got the Lonely Planets on order!
Have you been there? Do you know anyone who has? Do people know where these islands are??? Apart from me and you...? |
Yes, Gertie, I know where the islands are but have never been there. I remember a couple of trip reports about Corsica.
Do they actually put the train on the boat? BTW - I'm thinking of going to Romania so was browsing your TR. |
I've never been but I read <u>Colomba</u> and <u>Matéo Falcone</u>, which probably would have Corsicans gritting their teeth.
|
Whew Michael! Have just downloaded them on to my kindle. Hope my French is up to them.
adrienne, will look harder for trip reports on Corsica and Sardinia. Romania is great. So interesting. Go go go. |
There are several Sardinia trip reports, but most people don't use the train as it's very limited. Bus might be the better option if you don't want to rent a car.

Thanks adrienne. Looks like I need to get reading. Kybourbon, if it can't be done by train, it will have to be bus. Cars are far too expensive and stressful for me if I'm supposed to be having fun.
