Marseilles, France

We have just been notified that the ship's stern side thruster needs repair and we will not be going to Grand Turk. instead, we will be going to Freeport and will be spending two days there to get this repaired.

I think this is the same thruster that they worked on in Civitavvechiea (Rome) a couple of weeks ago.  I guess they didn't get it fixed then.

Oh well...

Now, a report on Marseilles, France. As cities go, we were not as impressed with this one as we have been with other cities.

We actually visited the Village of Cassis some distance from Marseilles. On the way out of town, I was able to take a few pictures of the cathedral.

 I also was able to get a few shots of the buildings and streets in Marseilles.

They actually have several Irish/English pubs in town similar to the Shamrock.

Of course, no city on the Mediterranean Sea would be without there castle.

Also the island shown is reportedly the Count of Monte Christi was kept and the legends surrounding him were born.

As we get near the Village,  we can see the bay from the hills.

Wouldn't you love to have this little vehicle to put around in? These are very common sights for delivering throughout the area.

No village by the sea would be without the lighthouse.

While this is not a huge fish market, each day the fisherman bring in their catch to sell by their boat.

The village is very nice and has become a minor tourism location.

And so we have no more French ports.
