Today was Marseille and the Little Train. I think this was one of my poorer choices. We took this little train like thing up some very narrow streets w/ cars following very close behind. Big mistake to sit all the way in the rear. You get to look the car drivers right in the eye. I was a bit nervous that one would smash into the back of us, that's how close they came to the back. Then you have the scooters zipping in and out. Interesting, to say the least.
We got to the top and saw the outside of the Notre Dame de la Garde Basillica. We only had about 20 minutes there and then it was back on the train to head back down. The Basillica was very lovely from the outside and there is a golden statue of the Virgin Mary at the top of the bell tower. It was said that the Virgin Mary watches over the city of Marseille and protects it from misfortune. It was very pretty and the views were really nice.
We were given 30 mins of free time to shop and look around and then it back on the bus and back to the ship. They had some souviener shops right outside on the dock where we bought a bunch of stuff. That was the best part of the whole day.
We saw the 6:30 showing of Disney Dreams. We have seen that a few other times on our Wonder cruises. I think they've added a few new things here and there. We enjoyed that show, even having seen it before.
Tonight was Pirate night. We had pirate bandanas waiting for us at dinner. They also gave us champagne to help celebrate the 4th of July. The deck party was pretty much the same as on our other cruises, but still fun. Mickey swoops down and saves the day. Then they shot off some fireworks. Drink of the day was Stars and Stripes. Red, white and blue. Tasty. Enjoyed that while sitting outside Cove Cafe w/ Sam.
I'll put pics of Marseille up in a bit.
