Monday, October 28, 2013

Spent some time deciding where we wanted to go and how to get there. The train and bus service here are really wonderful, but to see many of the smaller towns it made sense to us to rent a car for a few days and travel through the countryside stopping where we want for as long as we want.  

We reserved a car for tomorrow and will venture down southeast to see some of the coastal towns we passed on our cruise.  Fortunately, the owners of our apartment have a garage a few blocks away.  Parking is very scarce here especially in and near the centre ville.

Went for a long walk and then returned in time for John to watch St. Germain play Marseille.  Watched for 15 minutes and then it went to subscription. Just cruel!  Poor John!  We rented the 2005 series of "Dr. Who" on ITunes and watched it a bit.  It is Max's favorite show and it's always fun to get inside the 12 year old's world. 

John had a sudden inspiration to try and find the game on YouTube.  While the game was not on yet, we did discover that they have full episodes of just about any TV show you would want to watch.  We have enjoyed watching "Inspector Morse", "Poirot", "Jeeves and Wooster", and even "Ozzie and Harriet". Who knew!
