Especially after having just come from Marseille. I arrive here at around 14:00 (that's how they tell time here). The TI was to be found right outside the trainstation. The internet cafe I needed because I forgot which hostel I'd booked was one block awy and the hostel I'd booked was another 5 blocks or so away. I was checked in and ready to sight see by 16:00. The area of the hostel has that nice 'neighbor' kind of feel to it and is close to stuff. The town is clean. The beach is less than a 1/4 mile walk along wide boulevards. I had to cross through a major town square on my way to the beach. The square is filled with all holiday trappings ('trappings' in a good way). There's also a mega Ferris Wheel that looks to be a permanent attraction. I took a whirl on it to get a birds eye view of the area. And I had a dinner that required a knife and fork! Okay, it was American food but I wanted to see how the French do American. They did good but you really can't mess up a ham steak, can you? Tomorrow I'm gonna save my lunch money and do a French dinner.
Boy, I really messed up this part of the trip. Marseille should have been a one nighter and the other days should have been added here. I'm only here for two nights which really means only one full day so I've really gotta make tomorrow count.
Note to self: next visit to France should be all about Nice!!!!
