... 8230;<br><br>First of all, we had a deadline. Something neither of us are accustomed to dealing with right now. Ferry departs Marseille at 7pm. Brian was concerned about covering the 100 km distance and finding the port in time. So, up extra early and on the road withour even eating breakfast! After all of the worry and fussing, and snaps of the whip to go &#8216;faster&#8217;, we arrived at the port at ...

NO MARSEILLE for us!!! The captain went by when we had 21 foot waves and winds of 50 gusting to 65. It was sunny but not good enough to dock in Marseille, so on to Barcelona we go. In spite of it, we had a great relaxing day and i had a 3 hour nap this afternoon. Naps are totally not my thing but apparently i was exhausted from our whirlwind schedule. Anyway, nothing exciting. We have seen numerous people in arm slings and just ran into a woman in a ...

So we left St Tropez to head towards Avignon. I wanted to drive along the coast and we found a little road to take us there.. Little alright! It was about 11 or 17km of narrow winding steep roads. The worst part was the cars we occasionally ran into coming the other way and the big drop on the other side!<br>But it was all worth it. We found all these beautiful little beaches. We stopped at one and ...

Marseilles is a great city to get lost in. It may even be a great city to find yourself in. Streets branch off at acute angles that leave buildings on corners sucking in their bellies and hanging on for dear life. They probably mark the spots where some ancient forebear- let's call him 'Desmond&#8217;- manned a barrow in the marketplace and the rest is history. The grid plan came later or elsewhere. This is more like a ...

... scorned, and this is a company that even moved into ex-PM Taksin&#8217;s Thailand. That takes some cojones muy grandes, amigo, about the size of oranges; you should see them suckers. This is important, not so much for this week as for the future, since I&#8217;m considering spending time here. If I&#8217;m ever going to &#8216;get French,&#8217; it&#8217;ll be here, or southern France at least. I&#8217;ve seen one restaurant in the mall with &#8216 ...

... br>(4) If a Marseillan tells you "no" or shows you his displeasure with just a wag of his index finger and an upraised chin, consider it the ultimate insult that they only seem to do to foreigners. They don´t even do this obnoxious gesture to each other. Just step into his personal area, look him square in the eye, and talk loudly in English. I guarantee you he will fall like a flimsy house of cards and saunter away. Seriously ...

... at home in Paris. <br><br>This diversity is definitely a gold mine for my culinary needs but for my travel needs today I will admit I was looking for something a little more French. I will be in the Middle East soon enough and I didn't spend 6 Euros on Ryanair to get here for nothing! I figured that France had to lie just beyong the city limits and I set out to find it.<br><br>We went to the train station and on our third attempt found a ticket person who was ...

... on the hunt for a new one - we can't do anything else until one is found hee hee hee! Anyway I'm delighted - Dad get saving your money!!!!! So our last night in Toulon saw a meeting in the Liberty Square of Toulon for people to Salsa. There were hundreds of people there, and couples trying to out do each other. I was terrible but did try, Jamie on the other hand put his ...

... at a table with 4 empty chairs. Then some grandma ran us out of th**e. I guess she was saving them for someone. Ryan tried to pull the ole "I can't und**stand you, so you're really not th**e" trick. It didn't work. We finally found two seats next to this pretty cute girl. Ryan was asking me (v**y loudly) if he should hit on h**. I had the feeling she spoke English and could und**stand ev**ything coming out of our mouths. We already made that mistake twice today. Sure ...

... find a public telephone&amp; late night internet cafe to vent. and i thought, ok, i cannot get to Spain from here now till Sunday, it was only Friday night, so i decided to go back to Venice because it seemed like a good idea to travel backwards, I checked trains going straight to france and no dice. So trains going in the other direction were running, and I thought I loved Venice why not go ...
