Marseilles, France

We were supposed to dock into Marseilles France but we hit some very strong winds, called Mistral so we had to change our route. We docked into La Seyne Sur Mer and then took a bus to Marseilles where we were still able to go on our tour. Marseilles is the second largest city in France, right behind Paris. We took a Marseilles city tour where we visited Notre-Dame de la Garde, a beautiful Basilica on the top of a mountain with an amazing view of the city.

Next we headed to the old port for the most delicious crepes! Chocolate and Nutella!

After we got back from sightseeing in Marseilles we decided to go rock climbing on the ship. Jeff had been before, but it was my first time. Don't we look sexy in our gear :)





There was a Johnny Rockets on the ship so we had some burgers and watched the sunset.


On the way to our last dinner aboard. We were so sad that cruise was ending but excited to have a few more days in Barcelona to explore. We hope to go on another cruise VERY soon!!
