Hotel Kyriad Rabatau Marseille

... in devil ears, 1 batman, 1 Spiderman, a copule dudes in masks, 2 girls with just some random fake blood on their face, 3 poorly represented Village people, and a guy who we think was Peter Pan, but he had cardboard fairy wings so we're not sure. All in all, Halloween ended up being a pretty fun night, but we certainly missed being home for this day! Now we are off to the Rhone Valley for some great wine... in a CAR! Stay tuned.

... figured this out and got on the right boat - well, a different boat anyhow. <br><br>Driving onto the boat we followed the sign that said &#8216;Embarkments&#8217;. I love how so many words in French are similar to what we use in English, but with slightly different meaning. I certainly feel as though I am embarking on something this evening. Something completely new and unplanned - even to us who hardly do ...

... about 10&#8364; on pic 'n' mix...have finally found someone else whose sweet tooth can match up to mine! Then for dinner we had the best meal that I've had since we got here...sausages, new potatoes, and Heinz baked beans. I realise that's sounds awful, as I'm supposed to be integrating into the French way of life, but during dinner I did at least have a bit of a chat with Amy's French landlord (he doesn't like Sarkozy much). Then today I tagged along with Lizzie and ...

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 ...

... she has to do is open her eyes to it. So before changing rooms and hotels again I inquire at the desk if she knows why I can&#8217;t get Internet.<br><br> &#8220;Did you open the registration page?&#8221;<br><br> &#8220;Huh? What registration page? How can I open a registration page if I don&#8217;t have Internet, local only?&#8221; <br><br> <br><br>She pushes the big blue e icon and a sign-up page appears; that ...

... a place where people can make cheap calls home to Cameroon, Senegal, etc. It's also hearing North African techno pop music while wandering past centuries old apartment buildings with wrought iron balconies and Parisian design. Even people praying at makeshift outdoor mosques gave Marseille a vibe I was not expecting.<br><br>I guesswhen this morning I was looking for the "real" France I looked a little too far by going into Provence. Maybe the real thing for ...

... the old port), we sailed out into the Mediterranean. We brought a picnic (baguettes, chevre, camembert, butter and desserts), and even enjoyed a cup of hot coffee during our sail. Rob took the helm after we left the port, and we passed the forts encircling Marseille that were built in the 1600s whose guns were originally pointed inward not to protect the citizens from raiders, but to protect the governor after a local uprising. We then sailed towards the rocky ...

... go there in the hope that all their beds were not listed on the Internet. I had an idea where the hostel was but on the way out of the train station I took a wrong turn. I soon realized my mistake and after a quick look at the map again I saw I could get back to the right street by going down a couple of side streets. I walked down the first street and then turned right up another hilly street. I could see the street I needed up a head. Just to make sure I ...

In 1844, Alexandre Dumas wrote a book titled, the Count of Monte Cristo. Most people who visit Marseille will make a pilgrimage to the small isle of Chateau D'if, since its the location of this story. Many versions of the story exist in the form of films. Nevertheless,I was first introduced to MONTE CRISTO when I saw it on a menu in Boulder, Colorado during my college years. It quickly became my favorite sandwich because it is ...

Hi again, this time we have been in the countryside for a week now and today have just returned to paris. Well we took a fast train from paris to marseille which only took like 3 hours, but was sooo fast trying to take in the scenery was a big hard as it was wizzing by so fast! Marseille was OK, we only spent one night there is a cute but expensive hotel up in the hills, it was pretty cool crusing the streets there finding the patisserie late at night and checking ...
