Nice-Marseille Day 3

I woke up to a grey wet day in Nice, with not much time to kill before the train back to Marseille I took a little walk down the aptly named Promenade des Anglais. Not much to recommend on a wet January morning.

I took a different route to the train station than I used yesterday and had a potter and got a coffee and some newspapers.

The train back was quiet and I got an old fashioned booth to myself all the way to Marseille.

When I arrived in Marseille the weather was sunny and I took a circuitous route to the apartment stocking up on supplies. It is notable down here (vs Paris) that the people take time and let you have a crack at speaking French rather than looking at you like un imbécile and addressing you directly in English.

I’ve been on the go more or less completely since Friday afternoon, so I had a restful afternoon reading at the apartment, venturing out later only for a pizza. I have made some good plans for Tuesday!
