Casamozza!

Day 1 of GR20, not a good start....missed the bus. A conspiracy of the lady in front of us in the tourist information queue (wishing to know information about buses next week in a different town!) and my shoe laces tripping me up fully loaded in the airport foyer! The upshot was seeing the bus to Bastia disappear out of the car park with us waving at it! Still each grey cloud has a silver lining and ours was a trip to Casamozza for short(ish) wait for the train from Bastia to Vizzavona.

A wonderful train journey through the centre of Corsica, over bridges, through gorges and a real view of what is to come..the mountains soar above us. On arriving at Vizzavona our hotel didn't show itself easily, however the station mistress happily phoned them for us and they collected us. There truly are some kind people on this island....plus being married to a Babel Fish can be quite handy in these situations!
