Aug.6 Marseille Hotel Hôtel HM
It's midnight when we arrived at the train station from the Marseille airport. The airport bus was €8.5. We asked several strangers the direction to the hotel (10 min walking), but they didn't know the street and one said it's very dangerous to walk there. In the end, we asked a police for help and he took us to the police office in the station. The policemen checked on the map and the net and finally one decided to drive us to the hotel. How nice of him! It's my first time to take a police car. What a great experience!

Too bad we couldn't get up to Aiguille du Midi because of bad weather.
We attended the Mass in Milan Cathedral. The sound of organ music and gorgeous cathedral made me peaceful.Too bad we couldn't get up to Aiguille du Midi because of bad weather.
Aug.15 Bern Hostel Bern
Verona Arena is a Roman amphitheatre, which is famous for the open-air opera performances given there. The operas usually begin at 21:00 and don't end till midnight during the summer, so staying at a hotel in Verona is more convenient. Just remember to reserve a room earlier. Too bad I couldn't get a cheap room there, so I missed going to the opera.
