Dentist, Musees and Football

I went to the dental centre in the centre of town for my 11.00 appointment. Without waiting, I was seen by a female dentist who took an x-ray which showed a broken filling which had exposed the nerve. She repaired the filling which held until I saw my dentist in November, and she mentioned that an orthodontist would have to deal with the nerve. Differently to my BUPA dentist, there were no glasses to wear nor a rinse cup. The cost was 50 Euros although this appeared twice on my credit card statement.
I went to the Musee Cantini which had mostly 20th century art.
The Musee d'Histoire de Marseille had lots of exhibits about Greek and Roman periods in Marseille, including a Roman trading vessel.
Having walked back to the hotel, I left again at 17.00 to take the Metro to Rond-Point du Prado to go to the Stade de Marseille for the men's football match between France and New Zealand which France won comfortably 2:1. Before the kick-off at 19.00, I bought the Olympic and Paralympic mascots from the official shop.
My uncomfortable seat was in the cheapest price category behind one of the goals. I was surrounded by some of the 45,000 mainly French spectators. There was lots of singing of football chants and other songs.
Walking back to the Metro station after the match, it was fortunate that an empty train soon arrived.Read more
