Marseilles was our second new stop on this trip, so up early as usual to make the most of the day...hampered by a stunted start! Shuttle bus in again as the terminal is 10km outside Marseilles centre,Weiterlesen

Further into the heart of Marseilles is the Palais Longchamp, apparently built to celebrate the building of an aqueduct to combat cholera. The grade facade is stunning and gave lovely views over theWeiterlesen

Walking along La Canabiére back towards the Vieux Port, we considered getting a boat to see the national park of the Calanques. It being full for the 11am sailing put pay to that for the morning, butWeiterlesen

Walking around the port, we popped up to fort-like 3rd Century Abbaye Saint Victor, steeped in an incense haze inside. Then we made a silly, but usual decision. Despite feeling sleepy from the sun andWeiterlesen

The port in Alicante is an easy walk to the town, unlike some of other ports on this trip, so we meandered the seafront shortly after docking, aiming as always to walk up The Big Hill. In this case,Weiterlesen

Day at sea with not a huge amount on board we wanted to do, so a day spent reading, cross-stitching and watching Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It was black tie night though, so we dressed upWeiterlesen

Final port stop, and despite having been here before we could apparently remember nothing about it...and the memory did not come flooding back! We walked out and through Cadiz to start with, to SanWeiterlesen
