On Corsica with bike and rucksack
The same problems occur everywhere in the world: where to leave your
rucksack when you want to get rid of it for some time? Stations and
some ferry ports have left luggage offices; luggage lockers
are rare. Leaving your rucksack for 24 hours costs you about 16 FF, and the
opening hours don't follow any scheme. You can leave your rucksack on
camping sites, but no one will attend it. Just put all the things in
your tent and make sure that it takes
some time to collect all your things: spread them in the whole tent! Take
all your valuables with you. We've done that several times (and I did it
often before), and nothing has ever been stolen or added.
The CFC (Chemins de fer de Corse), the Corsean railroad company,
transports rucksacks for free, and so do the bus companies. On ferries,
rucksacks are handbaggage and free, too; there are lockers on several
ferries, but they are really expensive. If you have booked a cabin,
leave your rucksack there; at least the ferries of the
SNCM have code
locks at the cabin doors.
Having a bike with you is not a problem, either. We have heard that
they are transported on ferries for free, and as far as I know the same
is true for buses and trains.
