Changes

The roads in Corsica are especially in the mountainous inner of the island small and bumpy. You will be forced to drive in second or third gear. The average driving speed is (except for the national road on the east coast) around 50km/h. So you have to plan a bit more time for your hitchhiking trip (even if you get lifts faster). On the national roads there are often traffic jams during the summer holidays, especially near the main touristic hubs on the east costsouthern and eastern costs.

== The [[Hitchhiking a boat|FerryFerries]] ==

The towns with a port cities where a ferry departs ferries depart (or arrivesarrive) are only [[Ajaccio]]and [[Bastia]] for the mainland and [[Propriano]] and [[Bonifacio]] for [[Sardegna]] all the year long (meaning in winter, late autumn and early spring). From mid-April to mid-October you will find connection also from/to [[Porto-Vecchio]], [[ProprianoCalvi]] and [[BonifacioL'Île Rousse]] and there will be also more ferries from the other ports. '''The ferries can't be hitchhiked (legally)''' since the truck ticket are not paid by vehicle but per person, the only way you'll have if you want to take it for free, will be illegally.. There is plenty of ferries every day (minimum 4 per day in winter, imagine in summer..) with a huge variety of vehicles, so if you are patient enough for sure you'll find the southern part right one. If you consider paying the ticket, keep in mind that French destinations are usually so much cheaper than Italian ones even if the trip is longer and the distance is bigger..crazyness of our times where a flight cost less than a train.From the island european mainland there are connections from/to [[Marseille]], [[Nice]], [[Toulon]], in [[France]] to/from [[Ajaccio]] and [[Bastia]] and from/to [[Savona]], [[Livorno]], (connecting especially Sardegna [[La Spezia]], [[Piombino]] only in summer) and southern [[Genova]] in [[Italy]]) and to/from [[Bastia]], . Connections to/from [[Sardegna]] are available all year long between [[Propriano]] and [[CalviPorto Torres]] (twice a week in winter) and between [[L'Île RousseBonifacio]] for the and [[Europe|europeanSanta Teresa di Gallura]] mainland(twice a day in winter).
