    The week started with the delivery of a new combined washing machine and dryer and became a lot more exciting as I set off on a cruise around the Mediterranean on Thursday.

  • 2023, week 9 journal.

    This week was spent on holiday sailing around the Mediterranean, going to ports in Italy, France, and Spain, and Morocco in North Africa.

  • Carcassone.

    I think I once went to Carcassonne as a young boy. I think I was there with my mum, dad and sister on a visit on the way back from a family holiday in Spain.

  • Eiffel Tower.

    My mum would have told you I have already been to the Eiffel Tower. She was pregnant with me when she visited it in 1966.

  • Marseille, France.

    On day 2 of my cruise around the Mediterranean, I arrived in Marseille early in the morning aboard my cruise ship, the Costa Toscana. I had initially booked a short trip around Marseille, but Costa Cruises cancelled the trip, so I took myself ashore to look around.

  • Marseille, France.

    I spent today onboard the ship, resting and trying to catch up on my sleep.
