What is Marseille without its water? Right, so we spent a day at sea.

How did they get the sneakers here?

Marseille is turning out into a very pleasant surprise. Maybe it is the sunny weather - but the combination of history, sunny weather, good food and the mediterranean sea is unbeatable...

Marseille - a very pretty city in the south of France

Marseille doesn't have a great reputation; High crime numbers and the position of Le Pen make this second(!) city of France not very popular with tourists. Most visit for a couple of hours or stay at Aix De Provence. But being the European Cultural Capital of 2013 might change that (together with a whopping €450 million investment). So this week we are visiting La Douce France :-) First impression is great: it is an ancient city with roots going back to the Grecian and Roman times with lots of heritage. The center is also compact and human sized. (Oh: and the food is fab!)

Stream baby, stream!

Thx to Karen & Tom for giving us the tip to start watching DocMartin. It is  a new sort of James Herriot - but then with a Mr Bean like, grumpy, autistic asperger main character. Doesn't sound funny? - well it is! Actually the main character is Port Isaac, a picture perfect little village in Cornwall. (So pretty that we added it to our bucket list).

Hmmm...
