Adagio City Aparthotel Marseille Prado Plage

... English in the entire town. We found our hostel super late at night (and they don't make hostels in France like they did in Spain... no more free internet!). The next morning, we walked into town not really knowing what to see or do. But as we were looking for a quick Petit Dejuner (breakfast) we stumbled upon the Saturday market. We sat at a cafe on the square and had the most amazing breakfast 5 euro can buy if you ...

Over the last months of travel, we’ve met and talked with many people about what we’re doing. As you can imagine, we’re greeted with many responses. Most can’t fathom a trip without end or adgenda. Some say they admire what we’re doing. Setting off onour own, turning our back on convention and creating an adventure. Others think we’re fools. Although the woman who said that ...

... for a start, is very different, especially for languages. It seems that the French love grammar, and so Russian is becoming very tedious, having lectures on why each letter goes where. The written and spoken lessons are going pretty well though, and the teacher is great, though is mad about pronounciation and accent. This might be wrong of me to say, but when foreigners learn English, do they ever try and do an English accent and pronounce all the words properly? I ...

Bonjour avec Aix-en-Provence Cherie<br>Since the last news we have visited the Cote D'Azur spending time at Monte Carlo and Antibes. We stayed near Antibes at a place called Biot and at night you could hear the seals at nearby Marineland - very strange. It was still quite hot and stickey with more mozzies. Monte Carlo was wall to wall money with billions of dollars in boats and cars. Antibes was similar but it had a lovely old town as well.<br>We arrived ...

... kill two birds with one spoon; it works. Ever the alchemist I go buy a handful of mint leaves in the Arab market; now we&#8217;re getting somewhere. I can&#8217;t look a pizza in the face anymore, so I close my eyes and savor the flavor.<br><br>After missing Rachid Taha last week on my first night in town, and Lura the week before on my last night in Wroclaw, I resolve to catch the Ba Cissoko show tonight. It&#8217;s ...

... stained glass and is very impressive. After snapping some more pics time to head home and relax before dinner. <br><br>We head down to the port for dinner and you can totally see some of the African flair in the cuisine. We actually find a little Lebanese place and pig out, well I pigged out. Rest of the night is pretty quiet. Long walk home and relax to get ready for a couple more one night stopovers before we get some done time.

... he delivery charge. This is the moment I get FRANCED although I do not find out until much later. I leave with my new toy and have a few hours to kill at the Youth Hostel so I can play with my toy some more. Matt comes back he missed me at breakfast and we play with my toy. He is so going to get himself one so he can do his book. I give him a few more travel tips of things I have perfected on the way. He finds out he has got the job which is great ...

... go there to study their feeding and mating habits, if they still have any. Marseille just has winos, good old fashioned bums begging coins for booze. I don't know where they sleep, probably on the street. The cheapest hotels close their doors at ten, eleven or midnight latest. That'll keep the riffraff out. This is a part of Europe scarcely known or acknowledged anymore, the old Europe, mostly southern and eastern ...

... what it would have been like to have actually been playing in the game! National anthems were great to hear - especially given the lusty singing of a few good-looking Italian men who were nearby! And I'm sure you all know about the game and the result (76-14 to the All Blacks), so I'm not going to set out a blow by blow (or try by try) account of it. But it was a great game to be at and the atmosphere was fantastic. I met up ...

... lived with their friend Isabelle, they had all just finished their various university degrees and were in their mid twenties and spent a lot of time organising music events and festivals. They lived in a great apartment that had been owned by an artist and had great murals and posters everywhere and a bunch of notes in the toilet from all the people that had stayed with them. They hadnt mentioned the touchy subject of rent and we ...
