Marseille : Melawati Kebab

On Jan 4th, we took the TGV (used to be the world's fastest train) to Marseille. It was a 3-4 hour journey and the view was nice too. I saw the outskirts of the city and somehow it made me feel really calm. Byk gak nampak ladang2 anggur dlm perjalanan tuh. Obviously aa kan since the french drink a lot of wine. Anyways we arrived in Marseille around afternoon. It was lunch time and we were so damn hungry. Giant poyo xnak ngaku lapar budget org percaye perut die kecik aaa. So we went looking for a place to eat outside of the train station and there it was a kebab restaurant. Halal plak tuh. Dah laa gua x katok .. mmg meleleh air liur aaa makan kebab syok abih.

Well, kat Marseille nih there weren't many places to visit besides the church and Palais Longchamp. Actually there's a nice mosque kat sini. Ukiran sume mmg lawa. So gua sound aaa Giant nak gi sane amik2 gamba sume. Si King Kong pon reply " ko amik aa gamba, aku nak gi masjid tuh nak semayang je." Mamat nih boley tahan poyo gak sebenarnye ... gua pon datang sane nak semayang aaa ingat gua nih jahil sgt ke? Asyik amik gambar church je, nanti org ingat aku murtad plak, so tukar sikit amik gambar masjid. Disebabkan x tahan dgn kepoyoran King Kong gua pon xde semangat nak gi coz the mosque is quite far from the train station. So we only went to the church and the palace.

We made a huge mistake actually bcoz we didn't know the train station provided a storage place for people to store their bags. So we went from one place to another with our heavy backpacks. Dayymmmnnnn!!

This is the church. Not sure bout the name though.

The train station is just below these steps.

Termenung jauh. This is Palais Longchamps btw

Posing depan air terjun yg penuh keladak. Still in the palace

Front view of Palais Longchamp. Really beautiful

If you don't know, Marseille is located by the sea. So the scenery mmg lawa aaa, but there weren't any beaches. Cume tanjung tempat bot2 berlabuh.

That night we took a train to Nice. We actually wanted to get a youth hostel in Monaco but there wasn't any. So since Nice is the closest town from Monaco ( bout 30 minutes) we decided to sleep at Nice. When we arrived at the hostel, there was an old lady waiting for us. She knew shit bout English I guess coz I was trying to ask her bout our room and the price, and she was mumbling some shit in French. I just had enough of it .. so I paid the bill to keep her quite. The great news was that we got the whole apartment to ourselves. Siap ade kitchen lagi ( biar x masak pon). Both me and King Kong slept in different rooms lagi. Mmg nyenyak aaa tido mlm tuh.

Tomorrow : Monaco
