First day in France

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:22 pm by tesstess

After writing the post to you I went with Steve to Amadeus. The gates were closed so we didn’t really se much, but at least we now know that it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk there which saves us a Euro on the bus.

We tried to find a bus that could take us to Antibes, but there were no bus at all to find so we went back to the hotel, and then we decided to try to hitch hike down. A bit nervous, but we tried and actually the seventh car coming past picked us up and the very nice woman were also going to Antibes

Antibes is a small and cute town, with narrow streets and at the sea there is a harbor with expensive boats. We ate at a Chinese place where Steve ate the other day he was in Antibes, quite expensive but very good food. Everything in Antibes is expensive.

There was a parade going on when we arrived so we stopped and watched it for a while and then we went up to the bus station to see if there would be any busses leaving for Sophia Antipolis later in the evening. One bus came and we asked the driver, who said one bus would be leaving in an hour. That is, not according to the time table for Sundays… strange.

I wanted to buy some breakfast and other food, but in France, everything is closed on Sundays. Some bars and restaurants are open of course, and I found a bakery where I bought a loaf of bread and an ice cream. It’s very hot down here.

Then we went back to the bus station and waited and waited. Steve told me that buses are always late. Steve is from the south of England but he lived in the north of France for half a year so he knows French.

Tomorrow is my first day at Amadeus. Hope it is a good one.
