Ups and downs

A little later than planned but we are in Marseille. I'm treating my bird to a class slap up meal of take away pizza and a bottle of JP Chenet. Ladies you have no idea,what your missing.
Lots of stairs

A great place to stay last night and at just £43 A real bargain. The 93 steps up the spiral staircase were hard work though. Back to the station now to see if the trains are running.

Pushing the boat out
