Rome-Sardinia-Corsica-Nice?

I've been looking at a new wideopenroad.co.uk trip early next summer from
Rome to Sardinia then Corsica then Nice. I like the group (I took two other
tours with them in 2001 and 2002) but wonder how Sardinia and Corsica would
be as the main parts of a 2-week trip. Anyone familiar with those islands?
TIA!

conferring no more powers on the US to detain prisoners than the 'war
against obesity' - and President Bush's policy of pre-emptive self-defense
is clearly illegal under international law."

Both islands are truly excellent.

Haven't been to Sardinia, but I fully concur about Corsica. Corsica
has some of the best touring anywhere.

Yes.
I've been to Corsica 3 times and to Sardinia once.
Both excellent.
Corsica more spectacular, Sardinia much more varied.
Highly recommended.

You might be interested in getting hold of a copy of the book...

'The Lead Goat Veered Off'
by Neil Anderson

A story of a Canadian couple cycling Sardinia during winter.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
You can order the book on-line here...
