The old port of Marseille is a natural harbour in the historic centre of the city. Settled around 600BC the port became a major trading hub for the region. As the sun sets the port starts to glow, the lights of Notre Dame de la Garde illuminate the basilica which overlooks the old port. Fisherman return with the days haul of fresh fish and the local bars and restaurants come to life creating a lively atmosphere.
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.
