Marseilles

We only selected an afternoon excursion in Marseilles, so we slept in and explored the "vieux port" (old port) in the late morning.

Perched at the top of a hill, we caught our first glimpses of the Notre Dame de la Garde cathedral.

By the afternoon, we boarded the tour bus which took us around town, from views to the Chateau d'If (of "Count of Monte Cristo" fame) to the cathedral on the hill, and time for us to explore Marseilles on our own.

Later that night, it was Pirates of the Carribean night (they didn't change the name for their Mediterranean itinerary) replete with pirates and fireworks.

Tomorrow we backtrack a bit to go to Villefranche with access to Monaco, Nice and Cannes.
