2013…we were 6 days on Corsica - it pissed down and I mean biblical scarily heavy rain for 4 of them and the other two weren’t exactly bone dry. We holed up in a little self catering basement flat in Piana worrying about being flooded or running through the streets to a bar. Then we went to Sardinia, same story of epic rain most of the time. The plan was then to go to Sicily but it was raining even worse there so went to mainland Italy instead. Guess what, it rained there too. And in Croatia, and Romania - particularly bad there, and in Hungary etc etc. In fact of a 40 day trip round Europe it rained on 35 of them - the last few days were mostly dry on account of two consecutive very wet 500mile days from Hungary to get to France where it was allegedly dry ((500 miles on XT660Rs is a fucking lot).
On the dryer days Corsica was brilliant - mountains, beaches, smart resorts, fishing harbours etc etc. It’s the whole of the med in one place. In fact reading this thread has rekindled the need to go back and see it properly in better weather.
