MARSEILLE - France -

As I asked about the reservation of T.G.V. at the station in Marseille, the desk said the tomorrow ticket was already booked up. Oh, god! I had to get back to Paris tomorrow. Or I couldn't return to Japan!!

In spite of that,taking a night train was the only way for me. How long does it take me to go from Marseille to Paris? I didn't know what to do. Then the desk said a ticket was there. Gimme a break! Was she saying I was stupid? I'll kill her......anyway, I got a ticket for Paris.

Bouillabaisse is a speciality of Marseille. Of course I had it at a restaurant in front of the wharf. Actually I ate a real Bouillabaisse at the first time. I enjoyed the lunch for the while.

And then I looked my watch. I had only 20 minutes until leaving. Though I called the waiter, he didn't come to my table at all.So I went to the counter by myself, and I went to the metro station in hurry after I had paid that. However I mistook the train, and I had to change the metro. I had no time!

After all I arrived at ST Charles in 5 minutes before. Then I picked up my luggage in 3 minutes. And then I got into T.G.V. just a minute before leaving. I had a narrow escape. If not, I would have to take a night train!



There are a lot kind of people in Marseille. People from Africa, Slav and everywhere. They seem to enjoy their own line.
