Bonjour from cold and wet Marseille. We docked shortly after 7am this morning to temperatures around 49 degrees and rain. As we were going to be in port until 8pm, we decided to take our time and not go into town until after lunch, and hoping that by then the rain may have stopped.
Unfortunately it didn’t stop, but was not raining hard so off we went to catch the bus shuttle into the city. Upon arrival there, we noticed that the Petite Train was operating. This really surprised us as they advertised that they didn’t start until after
Easter. However, we had really wanted to take their tour (they were only 6 euro) so were very happy to see them. They run two different tours of about a hour long, one through the city and one out and up to the Basilica of Notre
in Marseille. Even if you took both, the total cost per person is only 12 euro which is a cheap tour.
Tomorrow is Monte Carlo, and as we are there until 11pm and the weather is predicted to be similar to what we had today, we will probably stay aboard until the afternoon to see if it clears out.
Someone asked about Goudi’s Church in Barcelona. We did not get the chance to go there unfortunately because of the rain, so I can’t tell you anything about cost. I will try and find someone onboard that did go and get the information from them.
Until tomorrow, Cheers!
