Marseilles, France

April 12, 2023

I went to my doctors appointment in the morning and I came back to the cabin with this handy portable nebulizer, some very expensive bronchodilators to use with it and really foul tasting throat lozenges. I was to use the machine 3 times a day. However, with shore excursions planned and the fact that the medicine left me very shaky for a long time, I would only use it twice a day.

The ship was incredibly quiet and we enjoyed our relaxing day. We wandered off the ship once to see if there were any shops in the cruise terminal. There weren’t, but we were told that there were shops across the parking lot. A Viking Ocean cruise ship was docked across the way and, after much wandering and confusion, we finally found the shops hidden next to the other cruise ship.

The shops were a kind of market stalls set up outside on the dock. We did find a couple of treasures. Brian purchased a Marseilles baseball cap and I found a beachy tablecloth in Provençal colors. Besides the memory of the nebulizer, we would at least have souvenirs from Marseilles!
