Weeks 14 and 15: from Geneva to Weimar (a healthy rest, then an exhausting music fest!)

I'm part way into my second week at the Yiddish Summer Weimar, and have finally found a moment to catch up on my blog. So I dragged myself away from the boat eventually (it was hard, this was the view on the last day) and got to Geneva about 36 hours later  (two buses, a train and another bus in Sardinia, then an overnight ferry, a morning stop-off in Marseille, and the luxury of a direct train Marseille to Geneva). The inland journey in Sardinia from Cannigione to Olbia was absolutely GORGEOUS - I didn't have my phone to take pix on the journey (I'm now the proud owner of a new-to-me second hand iphone 6 btw) but you can see a pic of the pretty impressive  rocks at San Pantaleo (for example) here .   We'd seen them from the boat but seeing them up close was fantastic. In Marseille I had morning coffee and lunch at a lovely independent coffee shop: the Cafe L'Ecomotive . It's just down the steps from the main St Charles station, so no need to waste
