Marseilles, a beautiful city.

We started off this morning with a tour to aix en province (pronounced x in province). It was a cute town. A short bus ride to the city and then an hour walking tour to churches and squares and lots of fountains.

I put my hand in the “healing” fountain hoping to get over my “cruise cough” I’ve developed. We’ll see…. It was Sunday, so for all you future cruisers beware that most shops are closed all day. There were a few little soap and candy shops open and of course the outdoor markets and patisseries were open. BUT that’s it. We sat at an outdoor café and I had my café au lait while taylor had a coke. I know so very French of her. We bought pastries and some souvenirs then made our way back to the ship.


I had every intention of going to chateau d’if this afternoon, but with my mild sickness coming on, I chose to take a nice long nap by the pool. Taylor was off in kids club. Her check in /out privileges have been restored…we’ll see how that goes. I reminded her today that we only have 3 days left, well 2 now as I type this. She’s sad that it’s over as she has made lots of new friends from all over the country. We are both dreading carrying our luggage to our hotel in Paris, but we’ll persevere.

The show tonight was Dreams. It was FANTASTIC. Best one so far, but I hear tomorrows, when mickey dreams, is even better….we’ll see.

Tonight was pirate night. Our first one!

Here is me, with amanda, allison and lauren...all sisters and very sweet! Don't they look good in their costumes. I felt underdressed. Unfortunately this cruise cough was starting to get to me. It was very windy and cold up on deck. Taylor and I were both tired, plus I scored a washing machine right before the party, so we only stayed about 15 minutes. It was too windy to wait and see if they were doing fireworks.

I tried to cancel my evening casino excursion, but in order to do that I have to see the ships doctor and it’s pretty much the same price. So if I still feel poorly, I just won’t go. We have an all day excursion in the morning to Monaco, Monte Carlo and Eze and I think that’s going to wipe me out for the day!

It’s almost over….:(
