May 18: Missing the Train to Nice
Our casual morning routine got the best of us this morning as we missed our first train to Nice. We were practically sprinting to França station as we realized that we wouldn’t be making it, and it’s a pretty awful feeling to see your departure platform empty. As it turns out, however, the station had a very helpful Eurail attendant who was able to set up a series of four connecting trains into Nice that evening. Ideally, if none of the trains were too late, we would actually make it into Nice earlier than with our previous arrangements. With such short layovers we knew it was a risky arrangement, but we had no other choice.
We hiked back to the Metro and Sants Station (the departure location for our new train) and relaxed as we made the first train. Our connecting trains were reliable as well, so we arrived in Nice and collapsed at the hostel.
