    Are you you going to track your travel on a map and see if you make a picture?

      No. This seemed too complex as I thought about it. And it turns out, the train trips that I have used in planning aren't always the ones that I end up booking because the systems are different and timetables change. So, I'm just going with the "stay overnight in towns/cities that spell out my name" conceit.

Day 2 - Santa Margherita Ligure

Getting Settled Today was my first holiday day. I kept having to remind myself that I’m on holiday; old habits are dying hard. After a good long sleep, I rose to solve the problem of the water. I looked around the whole apartment again and this time discovered a service panel beside a heater in the kitchen that I had not seen before. Opening it revealed the water and gas stop cocks. I turned them both on and suddenly, I had water (and gas). What I didn’t have (or thought I didn’t have) was *hot* water.

Touring the Cote d’Azur I slept badly during the night and was quite un-rested when I was forced to rise by my alarm clock. However, I got to work finalising my packing, eating some breakfast (purchased the night before) and heading off in very good time to walk to the train station. It was a very nice walk, really, through the dark quiet streets of Marseilles. It was downhill to begin with, then a long uphill run until the final massive stair climb. I was cooked by the time I got to the station. I’d had to shed my jacket earlier, which was working much too well at insulating me. I found the train easily. I checked with the man at the turnstile leading onto the platform what I was to do about finding a seat, as my ticket was just my Eurail pass and the ticket didn’t allow to buy a seat preference. He said, you just sit anywhere. So, I did that. A second class seat on an upper deck. (It was only much later that the ticket collector told me that I could sit in First Class. I hadn’t real...
