Travel diary to Marseille - an experimental trip

So I've planned a short weekly summer trip to Marseille, because when I was the first time in france, the country was just mind-blowing.

Started looking for an appartment on https://www.airbnb.com/ and https://www.wimdu.com/. After searching for a while, I finally found a cheap room on Wimdu in Marseille, which is pretty close to the center.

Day one - arriving in Marseille

Took the airplane from Berlin-Tegel to Frankfurt, after this Frankfurt to Marseille. Both flights with Lufthansa.

	echo "sorry, this script only installs on RedHat/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu boxes"
