Work trip to Marseille


Flight Wednesday morning at 8:30 - Bristol to Nice. Picked up rental car at Nice airport and drove to Marseille. Lovely sunny weather. Went to hotel first (arrived about 3:30) and the made way to FT Office on metro.
Jeanne & Nicolas took me out in the evening - first to a bar for an aperitif and then on to a very nice (expensive) fish restaurant - L'Epuisette.
Work on Thursday with a long lunch near the Vieux Port. Didn't leave office until about 7:00 in the evening. Went to Toinou restaurant that only does shellfish. Had an excellent platter of Crab, King Prawns, Cockles & Languostines.
Friday morning did some work in the morning and then drove to Nice, taking a rural route for part of the way. The car I had was a convertible Astra so did some of the trip with the top down. A bit cold but very nice :-)


Nice Airport
Conference call at Nice airport @ 1:00 then went through security. Disappointing that there were no restaurants so lunch was a sandwich. Got home about 6:00
