This morning of November 1th Dona and I bid goodby to Glenda as she was leaving Rome for home by air and Dona and I were leaving Rome for Nice by train. We left the hotel at 6am to get on our train at 715. We were there of course too early and had to wait to board our train at 7. The train station was about a half a block from our hotel and despite the huge suitcase I had and Dona's suitcase it was not difficult to get to where our train would depart. Our goal is to get to Carcassonne, France which is a walled medieval village in the south east part of France. We could only get tickets to Nice and the agent told us we would have to get tickets to Carcassonne when we arrived in Nice. Our trip consisted of 4 transfers. Rome to Milan. Milan to a town outside of Monte Carlo and then two suburban trains to Nice.
The train experience was not an easy one. It took us from 715am to 7pm to reach our destination of Nice. We are booked in a hotel for one night and we are going to another hotel for another night in nice. The reason for the move is that the hotel we are in is booked for tonight. Last night when we were out to dinner we went to another hotel to see if we could get a reservation for tonite and they had one. We asked to see the room and it was much bigger and cheaper than the room we were staying. So on the 2nd we stayed in the hotel Ideal Bristol and tonight we will be at the hotel Togerdero which is next to the Bristol
