Those of you who have been following along with the vlogs probably know that we booked a tour to visit Aix en Provence for this day. Well, we were informed that the excursion was cancelled. We tossed around the idea of taking to Aix the train ourselves, but in the end decided to just hop off the ship, take the MSC shuttle to the old port, and play it by ear. The “vieux port” has been the natural harbor of the city since antiquity and is now a hip place to hang out in #Marseille. We can see why it has become so popular. There’s tons to do. One side of the street is lined with vendors selling truly unique goods. You’ll get a good look at some of the things available in the video, and you just might get to see me buy something cool too. The other side of the street is pretty much back to back restaurants. All of which give off a cool I’m-in-France-chill vibe. It was really tough to decide where to eat, but we ultimately settled on a spot with good shade and a great view of the harbor. After lunch we wandered around chatting with vendors and taking in the sights. We were even lucky enough to catch a little of an awesome street performance. Catching the bus back to the #Meraviglia was super easy, and before long we were sitting in our favorite spot in the Yacht Club, the Topsail Lounge, enjoying the drink of the day, a lovely Lavender Margarita. Our evening plans included an amazing show by Cirque du Soleil, but my first commitment was fulfilling a promise to spend a little time with my son in his favorite spot on the Meraviglia.
There’s one more stop to come on this journey as we continue our European cruise to Genoa (Italy) so STAY TUNED! If you missed day 1 in Rome, day 2 in Palermo, day 3 in Malta, or our time in Barcelona be sure to check those videos out too.
