Bonjour! Au Revoir!

Yes, I'm back from Marseille, but I've been putting off updating my blog with pictures if my fabulous trip. (Procrastination...)

Anyway...here it is!

One thing I have to say about Marseille is: The weather is much much much better than what we're having right now in the UK. Oh, I know it's not news, but then again, how can anyone complain about good weather? Lots of sun, sea and fantastic view of the Mediterranean sea.

First, let's start with the city itself.

The old port of Marseille.

La Canebière.

On top of La Garde.

View of Marseille.

View of the Mediterranean sea from la Garde.

Notre-Dame de la Garde by night.

Next, comes Cassis. OOohhh, this is my favourite. I just love love love love LOVE the view there! A bit scary when you look down the edge of the calanque though, but I can overlook that! Hehe...

(Forgot the name of the cliff. Emily did tell me, not once, not twice, but THRICE, and I still can't remember it.)

View of Cassis (from the same cliff).

I took loads of pictures still from this place but then I'd already put them on FB and so I would spare everyone from my cam-whoring.

Next, let's take a look at this...

Does anyone recognise what this is and where have you seen it?

Another hint:

Got it?

Yeap, yeap...it is.

The cafe featured in Love Actually (where Colin Firth proposed to the girl)!!!

I know, I know...I can't believe that I was there as well! It's a very very old cafe (according to Emily), and everything is so...so...so..........................err.......vintage. From the tables and chairs to the tiled floors and bar.

And thanks to my gracious hosts...I had a wonderful time!

Emily's parents...

The grandparents...

Her brother, Vincent...

And here's one with Emily, Nathalie (her sister), and me!

Thank you so much! They really are an interesting family. (Trust me when I say they are...) Oh, more about Christmas with them in another post!

Last but not least...other friends that I met!

Dounia and Sophie (and of course, Emily.)

James and Angelique (I'm sorry if I got the spelling wrong!!!)

Nic, Roma, (and Emily), Pip, Sophie, Dounia, Nathalie. (Oh yes, we went clubbing! HAHA...)

But then again, one week just flew by and it was time to go home. (So sad. *sobs*)

So on the last morning, we took one last trip to the beach and had some breakfast in the sun (and outdoors too!!!) before leaving for the airport.

I definitely miss Marseille...but who knows, I might go back next time! :)
