Last day in Spain, left the room late because the checkout wasn’t until 11. Dropped the bags and went for a walk along the beach. Lots of people out enjoying the weather, probably around 22C and sunny. Picked up the bags then caught the metro to the city.
Song and I have split up and gone our separate ways – we haven’t had a row, she has to go to China to visit some factories, and I have to spend a few days in the South of France. It’s a tough life. She took the train to the airport, I stopped off for a coffee and headed to the train station. We meet up again in Hong Kong in about a week.
Got to the station, train to Nimes, took about 3 hours, read and watched some tv. The hotel is right next to the station so didn’t need to get any other transport. There’s nothing in particular I wanted to see in Nimes, but I fancied some more time in France and it was warmer down south.
Walked 5 minutes into the town, past a roman colliseum, there weren’t many people around which seemed strange after Madrid and Barcelona. Went for dinner in the first reasonable looking place that had people in it. Had the set menu; pasta salad with chicken and roast vegetables (nice), steak (ok) and creme caramel with pears for dessert (very nice). It cost 18 euro, more expensive than Spain.
Will explore the town tomorrow.
