So near and yet so far apart. Corsica and Sardinia are like two siblings who moved to different countries and are separated not just by the sea but by culture, too. This day trip to the cliff-perched town of Bonifacio in southern Corsica is the ideal way to get to know France's wildest region.

After a drive to the north of Sardinia to catch the ferry at Santa Teresa, you'll make the 50-minute crossing. Precariously built on 70m-high cliffs, Bonifacio's fjord-like harbour is quite the sight. You'll hop on a mini train to the centre before a guided tour of this vertiginous citadel with tightly packed narrow alleys. There'll be a break for lunch, followed by free time in the afternoon.

As you wander the cobbled streets, you'll be following in the footsteps of Corsica's most famous son, Napoleon, who plotted his invasion of Sardinia from here. Browse for antiques, handicrafts and jewellery in the shops that now fill the ancient houses, or head down to the harbour to watch the yachts come and go.

Excursie kon alleen on-line geboekt worden omdat TUI geen hostess naar het hotel stuurde waar wij verbleven. De enige concrete informatie was de ophaaltijd. Daarbij stond over de prijs dat de excursie vanaf 110 euro p.p. kostte, maar ik kon 145 euro p.p. aftikken. Nadat ik geboekt had kreeg ik een kortingscode waar ik natuurlijk niets meer aan had. Neemt niet weg dat de excursie zelf zeer de moeite waard is.

De gids was in de bus niet duidelijk waar we om 1u precies moeten zijn (gezien er meerdere stations zijn voor de trein) hierdoor hebben veel mensen half uur verspeeld met de gids zoeken die foetsie was. Op terugweg ging het mis dat we na reizen en wachten van 40min dat de boot stuk was (al heel de dag) en dat we ander boot moeten hebben 2u later. Ander boot kwam later dan gepland en onboarden duurde langer. Hierdoor pas om 11u kunnen eten ipv 8u. Hierdoor was de dag meerendeel een waiting game.
