Cocky Danielle has been in France for an entire 5 days, and has been in Nimes for 2. She knows that she can sleep in, eat a leisurely breakfast, and then wander down the 500 metre stretch to the bus stop that will take her to the train station for her 9:44 departure. When Cocky Danielle gets to the bus stop and has to wait 20 minutes for the next bus, she decides to stroll down to the next stop. She knows this city.
Safe-traveller Danielle knows her cocky ego is in over her head, and so when the bus stops turn a corner somewhere and Cocky Danielle doesn't, Safe-traveller Danielle pulls out the map she kept close in her purse. This is a good thing, as the road Cocky Danielle put herself on leads away from the train station.
A 3 kilometre race on foot to the train station ensues complete with an 18kg backpack, and both Danielle's are relieved when they arrive 5 minutes early before the train has even reached the station.
Lesson may or may not be learned.
Je suis tres sweaty.
