I was in Marseille in the middle of June. Wanted to try something (as I thouhgt) similar to my last years trip to Barcelona, but Marseille turned out to be different city - though similarites are that both cities are located between Meditarreanean sea and mountains. Also the nature scenery around them is a bit similar. Marseille isn't resort, but it has great hills inside the city which in combination with narrow streets, buildings side by side and mountains in background creates really great effect. The sad part of my trip was the weather - hoped for the clear sunny skies, but get cloudy and grey most of the time. Marseille empowered the "grey effect" with its dirtyness - it's the dirtiest city I have been so far! But anyway it's very interesting and enjoyable. When in the 3rd day the sun finally comes up, I even didn't recognize some places where I was in previous 2 days but unfortunately then it was my time to leave. But some special feeling are also in these grey pictures - these are from 1st day. I will post next days pictures later - will be also some other places not only Marseille. Let's start with
1st Day
in the middle building there was hotel inside... It costed only 16 euros and I can't imagine how it looks inside because I find other hotel about 40 euros - and even that was quite sad, with flooded ceiling, dirty walls...
Marseille's main shopping street:
on the way to Notre Dame De La Garde church on the top of the hill (it was only place in the city where I saw quite many tourists; in other places they was just few. Maybe due to Euro 2008, I guess)
