Island Escape
We have just returned from a cruise around the Eastern Mediterranean and the Tyrrhenian Sea, taking in Majorca, Menorca, Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia, quite a little island hop in fact. Given we have already been to Cyprus this year, and plan to visit Jersey in September, this must be the year of the island.
Our plan was to visit Corsica and Sardinia with a view to seeing if they were worth a longer one centre trip, and we both thought they were. Sardinia is the second largest Mediterranean island after Sicily and Corsica is the most mountainous. Both have wonderful beaches and very picturesque towns and villages. The food reflects the French influence in Corsica and the Italian in Sardinia. All in all a good time was had by all.
Unfortunately we did not find our property sold on our return, but there still appears to be interest, so we have started to look around at the apartment market again to see whats on offer. I was going to say flat market, but then that's what it is innit?
