Parador de Aiguablava, Spain to Lyon, France

Today was a travel day. This morning we left the Parador of Aiguablava at 7 A.M. for the one hour drive to Girona, where we returned our rental car and caught a 9:00 high speed train to Lyon, France.

Our room at the Parador included breakfast, but the breakfast buffet didn’t open until 8:00. So yesterday I ask if they would give us some breakfast to take with us. They said yes, they would give us a picnic.

These are the picnic bags they gave us – water, juice, ham sandwich, cheese sandwich, cake, muffin, tangerine, grapes. Wow!

There was very little traffic and we had no problem returning the car and catching the train.

The high speed train ride was 4 hours and 20 minutes. In Lyon we walked the mile or so to our hotel.

Our hotel was just on the other side of the river

After a bit of a rest we went out exploring and later had a great pizza dinner.
