The Sea Was Calling
« on: July 27, 2015, 09:48:36 PM »
So this old cruser has been bobbing around on the ocean for a couple of weeks.

Daughter went with us as a pre- 40th birthday celebration.

Went into one or two shows, the Tribute to Queen was fabulous, as was the Quo tribute only thing was there were some older farts than us in the audience and when they struck up with the first hit there were hearing aid wires flying around as the oldies disconnected themselves.  :))
Laugh ---- ehhh the tears rolled down me old legs.  :))

Anyway, daughter's an expensive lady and cash was running short so when we berthed in Marseille I told hubby as it was a long day there he could find a day job - which he did bless him.
Hang on peeps I've got a photo somewhere of him at work - he looked so smart =================
nips off to find it ==========================================

Only problem was daughter could sup those B52's quicker than he could earn the euros to buy em so we decide she could maybe do a bit of work whilst we were in Gibralta.

Anway, she ditched her powered wheelchair for a motor bike  (y)

Only problem was it revved off at 90 miles an hour - totally unexpected and she flew off the back of it like shit off a shovel  :-?  :-?  :-?









I had to send hubby jogging after her to catch hold of her legs!!!  :(

My hero!!  ;)

Boy did we have a good time  ;)

We did thanks fly and have told daughter we will take her again but probably around the Canaries as it's easier at the ports for her.

I took one or two photos' ( serious now  ;) ) and will post them

Has anyone been to Marseille?
It was the first time for us so I was quite chuffed when I saw it on the ships itinerary - however there didn't seem to be much there apart from a large harbour which unfortunately because of the heat ( 98 F ) it was to hot for us to walk around in the searing heat.
Instead we kept under the tunnels of shade which housed the eating places - and they went on forever!
Shops?
Didn't find any and daughter loves to shop!!

I did find the narrow back streets pretty with the gaily coloured flowers in the painted container and particularly liked the idea of the painted tyres with flowers planted inside.














I liked the architecture of the Cathedral.




I found this a strange one, does anyone know what it depicts - if anything?

This was the rising sun in Malaga. The heat mist made it difficult to get a clear shot. It reached 100 F that day.






Villefranche was from the ship by tender boat
