Tonic Vieux Port Marseille

... made some friends had we the time and resources to put together costumes... I decided we were dressed up as Canadians, which I thought would have worked great until Tom pointed out that Canadians would probably speak more French. But we weren't really left out, there were only a handful of people dressed up. Overall; here is the tally of costumes in Aix on halloween: 2 girls in witch hats (with one stocking each), 5 ...

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 ...

... in a bit of culture. Before it closed, we made sure we went along to the Cezanne/Picasso exhibition, originals and all. The pieces were amazing up close, and we were able to recall some French cultural studies lectures...even though, of course, Picasso wasn't actually French, but we could recognise his influences! Definitely worth noting that the only reason we knew where the exhibition was taking place, was because we'd previously been on the little tourist train ...

... yesterday, Saturday, and it is cooler but still nice. The trip here was spectacular with many olive groves and big mountains. Today we went on a tour to Les Beax - another medieval town with a castle - poor Graham and on his birthday too. Then we went winetasting and to the premier olive oil producers in France. The Mistrql was blowing on the tour and it was very cold but warmer back here in the camp. Tomorrow we explore Aix on foot then we go to Avignon.

... as if they omit bathrooms strictly as a matter of space. So I&#8217;ve got the bell tower room, high above the street and across from the Gare St. Charles, watching people come and go at all hours. I don&#8217;t have TV, but I do have Tinariwen on my buzz-box. <br><br>This room could probably be dubbed the &#8216;suicide suite&#8217; if it weren&#8217;t so small, given its high perch five stories over the street far ...

... a sun-defense cream with you.<br><br>We came back to our flat and in the evening went out to the centre near the "Vieux port" - old harbour. We had a long walk along the seashore - I should say it's in a habit to walk or jog here every evening. There are a lot of attractions there and a square with some pretty cafes.<br>So this was my second day in Marseille)) À bientôt!!<br>

... like about Marseille, it is not a place I would be recommending. I go for a walk to find some dinner as I haven't had anything since breakfast. I don't feel unsafe but I don't feel safe, I buy a Provencial Fish dinner and some yoghurt and head back. The dinner is disgusting the fish is not something I choose to eat, even though I am hungry I decide to pass on it and eat half of the brown rice. The youghurt is yummy. I go to bed, this Youth Hostel ...

... for a long time. I don't want to sound spooky like I had a premonition or something, because after all, I could've gone to Toulouse, but I think I always thought Marseille might be a part of France I'd like. It's hard to learn the language of a place you don't really like, after all. For me to enjoy a place is to internalize it, know it's insides until I feel like a local. What cathedral? What statue? Show me the produce section.

Tentative de départ: 5h30: Direction Castellane, pour essayer d'amadouer un (des) automobiliste(s) pour nous amener jusqu'a nice avant 18h ou mieux jusqu'a Milan. Sinon: 13h30 direction la gare Saint-Charles ...
