Marseille; Sunday, 13 December, 2015

A late breakfast and after checking out of the hotel I headed down to the harbour to book onto a boat tour out to the spectacular Calanques National Park for the afternoon.

That booked I wandered back into town and visited the Museum of Marseille History with its impressive Ancient Greek and Roman remains dating back to the founding of the city over 2600 years ago.

After a quick stop for lunch in a harbour side restaurant I wandered back over to the harbour to pick up the boat tour out to the Calanques.

It was a very interesting tour, with impressive scenery – possibly made more impressive by the slightly rough seas.

Whilst I enjoyed the tour several of my fellow tourists didn’t have such a good time, and by the time the boat got back to the shelter of the Vieux-Port 3 hours after setting off about half the boat had lost their lunch.

I headed back to the hotel to pick up my luggage and then started the journey back to the airport and home.
