We had thought about going to Marseille today before we leave the area, but it was market day, and it would have been a shame to miss the market. Instead, we washed our clothes and hung them outside to dry, complained to TheFork about the way we were stiffed by Le Naio last night (they gave me 1000 Yums (loyalty points) as an apology) and finally walked into town bright and early just before 11. On the way, we stopped at the Plage du Bestouan to scope it out as a place to try our new swimwear. Once we got to the market, we spent an hour or so there (and a bunch of Euros) – it’s much more fun than the Los Gatos Farmers’ Market. Diane bought a nice shirt, we both bought espadrilles, and we picked up the makings for dinner tonight – smoked salmon, Morbier, and strawberries to go along with the spaghetti that our host Denise had supplied.
We took everything back to the AirBnB, then walked back into town for a simple steak lunch at Le Golfe. Then we picked up wine for dinner at the Petit Casino market and headed back to the AirBnB to pack, watch The Studio, and make dinner.
After dinner, we felt the need to walk again, but we didn’t want to go into town, so we turned right as we left the AirBnB and walked about a mile – on a flat road! – and ended up on the other side of the Calanque de Port-Miou from where we were yesterday.
We walked along the shore for a few hundred meters, but decided not to test out this sign and returned home for the night.
It was nice having a quiet day; tomorrow, the pace picks up.
