When we arrived, it was pouring! We had to walk under the train tracks through a tunnel to get to the exi, and the water was starting to pool in the tunnel, but we made it through. Then, we found that there were no taxis available to take us to our hotel. The person at the desk was very kind and kept trying to call us a taxi, and eventually, he found someone. It was a very good thing because our bed and breakfast was not nearby and was up a steep hill.
Our adventure continued in the evening as we walked down the hill to get to the port where the restaurants were. After a nice dinner in the quaint port area, we found (of course) that there were no taxis! So, we started walking where we thought we should go for our B&B. However, it was soon clear that we were lost, and it was about 10:30 pm. We saw two women out walking, and we told them we were lost and asked them for help. One said, "Would you like me to drive you there?" I was so impressed that a stranger would do that! The other women helped the driver to figure out where we were headed, and we arrived safely back, thanks to the kindness of strangers.
In the morning, we saw a beautiful sunrise.
We enjoyed walking along the beach.
We also took a boat ride to see the beautiful calanques or inlets. The water in those areas was beautiful, kind of an emerald green in the smooth areas. However, the winds kicked up, and the boat ride was a little wild (but fun).
The last day, before we left on the train, we also had time for a massage at a spa. It was wonderful! Cassis was a beautiful little town to visit.
