Not much to report today. The majority of it was spent on the train. The trip from Bordeaux to Lyon was 7.5 hours. There were about 7 stops, which added to the time. Unfortunately, France’s first class car does not offer the service our Espana travels led us to expect. There were no warm towelettes, no tv, but most important, no food. The stops were too short to jump off. Alas, The fasting made up for last night’s gorging on duck & fois gras.
The Lyon station, Part Dieu surprised us with the hundreds of people milling around. It was twilight so we decided to catch a taxi rather than the bus. Our hotel is a Hilton, an American style fat hotel. We met a nice young man in the lounge where free scotch was available. He wanted to practice English and spent a lot of time giving us advice on sights, restaurants and transportation. My first goal in Lyon will be to find A Beautiful Launderette.
