Europe 2006 - Lyon


The last part of my trip to Europe was going by overnight ferry from Bastia in Corsica to Marseilles and then catching the train to Lyon where I spent two days before flying back to Australia.
 


Above - I travelled to Lyon on a TGV - a very fast train.



Above - In Lyon, I stayed at the youth hostel - which was a nice place and had great views of the city. On the second day, one of the people at the hostel put on an excellent free tour of the old city.
