Marseille Vacations -- Fourth day
I went out today not that late... coz today it's time to visit the Calanque. Some rock formations near to Marseille that i was told are great. After a quick breakfast (with eggs...:P ) i walked to the Obelisco to take the bus that is going to leave me near to the park. There is a Patisserie on my way to the Obelisco that i have seen with sweet eyes the last days ... and today i buy there the dessert that it's going to be my favorite food from Marseille: "Créme Brulée" See : Créme Brulée. I take it with me and decided to eat it in the park.... a nice place was soon found and there i enjoy one of the best desserts i have ever tasted. Great!! The calanques are also very interesting and i spend my entire day walking through... i even dare to swimm 5 mins, because i saw some people enjoying the water in a lonely beach... agg.. if i should have known that the water was so cold, i wouldnt have think for a min about swimming. It was my shortest swimming ever... after that.. i'm ready to swim near to the polar circle. Everything is nice today... i walk day and night and take all the pics i could. My mother would have loved this spectacular views. At least now i have the camera with me. Kisses mother.

Marseille Vacation -- Third Day
Again waking up late... ag.. what the hell.. these are my vacations. At 11:30 i reach the Vieux Port and buy a ticket to Frioul Islands. I have to wait 45 mins, enough to get an Spar and buy something for the trip.
The day was marvelous.. warm and very nice. I walked through the both islands (not D´if but i took many pics of this island from the others.. the story of the "cond of montecrist" from dumas was based in a real story happend there. I was all the day walking taking pics... climbing ropes (see pics) and asking me two questions:
1. Why so many people seem to have tried to settle down there but failed-- i saw many abandoned houses.
2. Why there seem to be ilogical constructions -- see linea de tren that end in the nothing.
funny. :-P Perhaps the history of those islands were at some point similar to the one in Ireland : people was ordered to do things without a sense only because they have to be employed.
The day was soooo good... only a dark spot... the dinner. Instead of paying 18eu for a Bouillabaisse.. i decided to pay 12 for a unknow dish in an unknow restaurant in front of the Vieux Port. Result: 12 euros lost. Well. thats ok too... i bought 20 eggs and though: i will only eat eggs and mcdonnals the next 3 days. !! :-s i was quite mad.

Marseille Vacation -- Second Day
Sabado-
Ok... i thought i will be up at 8:30am but it seems that my clock was ringing for a long time and it was left without battery. It's something like 11am when i leave the hotel to find some coffee and a Patisserie (ummm... i love cakes) to make up for my breakfast. I dont find anything i would like (and moreover .. almost all the patisseries dont have tables). It seems that Frenchs don´t accustom to take the breakfast outside of their homes. I take a baggete and some fruits and think: thats french too. ;-)
I dont want to write about every place i visit, so i will let you with a bunch of pictures coz one picture makes more than thousend words. Notradrame D'la gard, Abbaye Saint Victor, Vieux Port, etc. After Notradame i looked for a restaurant... there were a lot of places closed.. why?I think. it´s saturday. But Ok.. one sign outside of a closed door gets my attention: the prices ok (at least ok for the big hunger that was taking control of me)... after trying to open the door many times i start wondering if that was a trap and some cameraman was nearby taking pictures of me and i will be in the french "hidden camera" to make the frenchs laugh a little. Someone comes after i press the bell button of all the apartments of that building. In a bad english she told me that frenchs dont use to eat that early !!(it was 5:30pm) and opens the restaurant only for me (uff. now i was feeling better). The dinner was not that nice... but well.. it was ok.
I wanted to go party.. but i saw in internet some discos and they were pretty full and not that nice. I prefer to go home and rest for tomorrow. I want to take a ship to the Frioul islands. I've read that they are nice, but i know now that i won´t be able to go to Chatteur D'If coz " it's too windy".
