Day 39 -- Marseille

Sunday, 15 October 2023

I headed to the Irish pub aiming to get there at about noon-fifteen, figuring that's when the kitchen would be open.(Fool me seventeen times ...) And I was told the kitchen would open at 1:00. So I walked around a bit and came back at 1:10. "The kitchen will open really soon." I can't decide if that is very French of them or very Irish of them.

I sat at the bar and waited. They were really nice. The kitchen opened at about 1:20. I had a Guinness burger. I forgot to get a photo. But I did get a photo of the trap door stairway behind the bar.

After lunch I went back to the hotel and did some laundry. The signs in the laundry room said you could buy detergent at the front desk, but the guy just gave me some free. After laundry was done, it was time for the England v. Fiji match. After the match I was still hungry, so I stopped at Pizza la Marseillaise on the way back to the hotel. It's a tiny little place, and quite busy with post-match traffic.


Room for about one customer inside the door. Everyone else waits outside

Walking the rest of the way back to the hotel wrapped up the day.
