Finally caught a bus from our hotel in Antibes into town. Found a nice place to eat breakfast and then walked the rest of the way to the train station.
(By the way - now is a good time to say how great it has been to be traveling lightly! It is the best tip we received. Joanie and I are each traveling with a small daypack and a carry-on size bag with wheels. We can, and have, walked blocks through towns with no problem at all. And when we have to go up stairs, the handle folds down quickly and there is a handle to carry the bags which don’t weigh that much. We also purchased clothes that can be washed in bathroom sinks and dry quickly. And we are also using these things called packing cubes - zippered mesh pouches of two different sizes. For example, I use my largest cube for my pants and shorts (total - 6 pair), a smaller cube for my shirts (5) and the other small cube for underwear and socks. It is so easy to pack and unpack every day, and to carry around. It really makes this on-the-go European tour very easy and enjoyable. And when we get into a situation where we have to walk further than we thought - it just isn’t a problem. Very, very nice. We can’t imagine traveling any other way again - unless you’re traveling by car.)
