We got to Nice at 10am and were promptly told we couldn't have our hire car, so while we messed about trying to get it sorted the sun decide to disappear, eventually we ended up getting the TGV down to Marseille left the house at 4:30am and got to the vessel in Marseille at 5:15, a good 6 hours work, then back up at 6:15 to drive back up to Nice to catch a flight at 10:30 am, got back to Dublin around 12:30 and just went and got hammered then promptly went home and passed out.
That said the good thing about it was I actually got to see downtown Marseille and downtown Nice. Although Nice was a bit Scary as the station seems to be surrounded by Sex shops!! haha. No in all seriousness it is a beautiful part of the world, the train Journey down the coast was amazing, all these little villages built basically on the side of cliffs. Beautiful & Stunning. Next time I go I want to make it a Thursday/Friday, that way I can fly back on the Sunday and spend a few days on the Cote d'Azur.
