We packed up our bags again and headed for the train station. We left Paris at 11:50 for a 3 hour train ride to Toulon. It was fun to see some of the country side.
We shared a seat with some 12 year old soccer players that thought it was pretty funny that we didn't speak French.
We made it to Toulon
and when when we walked out of the train station we were blasted with wind. There is some sort of wind storm for the next 3 days but it was sunny and pretty warm.
We dragged all our luggage down to the ocean in search of the port where the boat is docked. I seem to recall my dad saying "it's basically just across the street from the train station" however it was more like a mile from the train station. Thanks Dad. Once we got to the water Mal and Juls waited with all our luggage while I went to find the Capianairre.
I finally found the office at the very end of the pier only to find that they had closed early at 4:00pm because of the French holiday. It was 4:20pm. We decided we better find a hotel. Luckily it was the end of the 3 day weekend and we found a really cheap hotel with free wi-fi! We got caught up on our blog a little and wrote some emails. It was also right next door to this huge mall where they have a sore like Target Greatland so we stocked up on a few things. Toulon is a great little beach town. It will be our home for the next week.

we all had a good laugh about the actual location of the boat dock relative to the train station.
