Crossing Korsica by train
Today I took the train from Batia to Ajaccio. It was very beautiful. I also got confirmed that it was good I didn’t bike. The road goes up to 1000 meteters and such a toughh road would have taken me two or three days one way, and there is no other way back. I can strongly recommend that train ride. The train was also very good with panoramic windows. Still hard to take photos through the windows in full speed.
Ajaccio
I arrived Bastia yesterday and ended up in one of the worst hotels so far. For 50 Euros you would expect a toilet wouldn’t you? For 50 Euros the room shouldn’t stink? For 50 Euros there should be a towel in the room, shouldn’t there. When I complained about the smell the consierge told me it was my boots that smelled! They guy walked around with his urine bag dangling on his hip…..I did check three other hotels but they were all above 75 Euros and I had just spent two nights in such a lovely (80 Euro per night) place so I guess it was time for some flaggelation. In the end I woke up at five and just had to leave the place…Could better have gone to a bar and spend the money on liqour and then sleep a few hours on a park bench.

Anyway, this train ride made me in a good mood.. Tonight i will take the ferry to Toulon. Korsica seems to have more Pizzerias than Italy! I have actually not eaten in restaurants so many times here, tried to save some money by bying food in shops….
