South of Marseille on France’s Mediterranean coastline lie a series of bays and inlets know as Les Calanques. We took a bus from Marseilles to a small university town called Luminy and from here we found the walking trails that led to the coast. The tracks started off easy but as we progressed further down the coast we found ourselves on some rough terrain, steep hills and having to climb over trees. The view of the Calanques as the sun set was beautiful, we sat and admired the view for a few hours, not wanting to leave the picturesque setting in front of us.
I'm travelling the world once again, but this time a little differently. I am currently cycle touring my way through Europe. On the 11/11/11 I pedalled out of Bromsgrove, a few hundred kilometres north-west of London. From there I made my way through central London, down to Dover, caught a ferry to Calais and got started in France. Calais to Amiens, through the hustle and bustle of Paris, into the southern wine regions and am now heading to the Mediterranean coast and the city of Marseille.
