May 28 – June 11 Sardinia and Corsica

 

And now for something different a bus tour of Sardinia and Corsica the lands, they say, of myths and legends. Two islands so different from each other – one Italian and one French, although we were to discover that they are fiercely independent with their own languages, sense of pride and long often tortured histories of invasion and domination. The Vandals, Barbarians, the Moors, the Pisans and the Genoese add to that in more recent history the Italians and French for Sardinia and Corsica respectively.
