.....and sail away!

I am pleased to report that today has gone smoothly. Our hotel was fairly basic but located in a great position being a very short walk from the major hub of the city. Thought it may have been noisy but it wasn't. Had time for another walk down La Rambles, this time with camera in hand for a few shots of the area. It seems the locals don't really get moving until 10am as the shops were still closed.

We organised a taxi for 11am and it arrived at exactly 11am. Embarkation was not that busy and being "3* mariners" we were able to board earlier. Lunch, tour of the ship, welcome cocktail with the captain for return guests, unpack our bags, mandatory life-boat drill and dinner filled in the rest of the day. We intended to go to the evening entertainment but we were just so tired we decided to call it a day. Probably the only people that go to bed at 9.30pm on a cruise ship.

Ocean is smooth, weather is fine and we are just arriving into Marseille for our first port of call. With a bit of luck will find WiFi hotspot to post this.Läs mer
