Finally! Train success!

Went to the train station again with enough coins, bought a ticket, and asked the attendant what to do next. Then I got on the train!



It was a quick hop to Antibes (pronounced An-te-buh, I said it wrong when asking) and you could see the beautiful beaches inside the train. They never looked at my ticket or anything so I'm not really sure how that works.

The busses don't run on Sundays, so I walked on down to the harbor to follow my Rick Steves walking tour of the town. Also, I have decided the best course of action with my tour guide is to rip out the pages I need so I don't have to carry the book around, or look too much like a dumb tourist.



I began at the Old Port with a view of Fort Carre. The old port is Europe's first and biggest pleasure-boat harbor, and it's filled up with gigantic yachts. Because of all these yachts, Antibes has a pretty large population of English, Irish, and Australians, which I definitely noticed when I was walking around. Lots of English speakers.



There was a little shell-shaped sand beach just outside the ramparts protecting the city.

I walked on down to the Picasso Museum - it was a great museum!



After that I walked all the way down to the farther beaches hoping to hike either Cap d'Antibes or Chapelle et Phare de la Garoupe but I couldn't find the signs. Also, it was getting late and the busses weren't running, so I knew I would have to walk all the way back to the train station. Maybe some other day though!



I liked Antibes a lot - it had a small town feel with good beaches and some touristy stuff. Also, there seemed to be a lot of people my age and a good amount of English speakers. It was definitely a cool place, I think I am going to try and go back soon!
