Western Mediterranean Cruise 9 Nights 11 Days Trip Day 3
Costa Smeralda
After breakfast, let’s go!

Since the distance to Marseille city center is quite far,
we took a shuttle bus from the pier!
Marseille Marseille Cathedral
Pl. de la Major, 13002 Marseille, France
The shuttle bus drops us off right in front of Marseille Marseille Cathedral.
The top photo is of the (under renovation) cathedral before climbing the stairs.
The bottom photo is in front of the cathedral! 😊
Seeing famous Western tourist attractions… or architecture… in person,
I was overwhelmed by the sheer size.
Took a photo from a good spot on the side 📷
Galaxy’s ultra-wide lens is too much!
Marseille The path from Marseille Cathedral to a museum called Vieille Charité.
It seems to take less than a 10-minute walk!

The grandeur cannot be fully captured in photos…
Entry to the museum is paid.
Due to our schedule, we only looked around the outside and used the free restroom before leaving. ㅎ

Me, looking like an ant.
And me, who thought it was zoomed in.
Marseille Petit Train
Les Petits Trains de Marseille

We took a tourist bus, like a miniature train, to get to Notre-Dame de la Garde.

Notre-Dame de la Garde Basilica
A view from afar, from below!
Honestly, the exterior looks similar to Marseille Marseille Cathedral. ㅋ

But the view from the top was so beautiful.
Watching the video again brings back the vivid feelings of that moment.

Took a photo in front of the golden Virgin Mary statue ㅋ

It was my first time going to a souvenir shop to buy something,
so I was too excited that I didn’t take any interior photos. ㅋ
I bought a magnet shaped like Notre-Dame Basilica!
Since there was still some time before the next meeting, I just sat on the ground and rested 😎
The photo makes it look fresh, but it was very hot…
We took the miniature train back down and had a brief meeting at the meeting point with the mirror ceiling.
Marseille The tour was only half a day, so it ended quickly.
They explained about splitting into groups to go back to the ship or stay longer,
but everyone else went back to the ship except us. ㅎ
We noted the shuttle bus stop location and said goodbye!
GLACIER BIO Le Metropole Vieux Port

Since we’re in Europe, we have to eat gelato ㅋ
Each of us got two flavors. From the left:
Dark chocolate, mint, mango, and strawberry, I think, but the flavors were very intense…
The dark chocolate was too intense and a bit chalky, with too little sweetness, which was a shame.
The mint was nothing compared to the mint chocolate I’ve had in Korea ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Is this how someone who dislikes mint chocolate feels?
Still, I was still caught up in the travel excitement, so it was okay.
These shops don’t turn on their air conditioning much, so the ice cream was
slightly melted, which was a bit disappointing. Is gelato supposed to be eaten like this?
I’m just getting used to it slowly ㅋ
GLACIER BIO Le Metropole Vieux Port
Since we bought ice cream, we also used the free restroom.
The mirror was pretty, so I just took a picture.
La Tour de Pizz
12 Cr Jean Ballard, 13001 Marseille, France

Since we’re in Europe, we have to eat pizza too 222
This place has a Google Maps rating of 4.8!

There were about 7 types of pizza.
We ordered Gorgonzola and a basic mushroom pizza whose name I don’t know.
It was the most delicious pizza I’ve had recently, and one slice was so big that I was very full.
(Even folded in half, it was almost face-sized.)
We also ordered bottled beer, but when we asked for a recommendation, they didn’t seem to understand well,
so we just ordered one of each type. 😂
I was very satisfied with the pizza, but some Italians in the Google reviews seemed a bit upset.
Saw a flat peach in real life for the first time 🍑
On the way back, I got a cute bottle opener from a souvenir shop!
It reminded me of Hu-chu……🥺
We returned to the place where we got off the shuttle bus earlier.
Now that I see it was free admission, I should have gone inside Marseille Marseille Cathedral!!!

After returning to the ship, we immediately showered and went to enjoy the dance program ㅋㅋㅋ
We danced along after taking the video.
They taught us the basic steps, so it was easy and fun.

Cruise interior tour with the tour leader.
This was optional, but fewer people than expected participated.
I joined because I needed to know where things were to enjoy it properly!!

And the square we visited earlier, we had so much fun here again
that the cruise guide left in the middle lol

The second day’s dinner on the cruise was pre-arranged.
It was a paid Japanese restaurant, Teppanyaki, provided by Lotte Tour.
The menu was translated and printed, so we chose in advance!

Appetizers and main ingredients!
They looked so good, as if they had been sprinkled with water, so I had to take a picture.
Teppanyaki
It varies slightly from grill to grill,
but in the end, the guests became one with “We Will Rock You” 🤟😎🤟
It was so loud and exciting that I couldn’t capture it on video.
In the middle, we played a game of catching fried rice eggs thrown at us, which was hilarious.
It’s nothing special, but why is it so funny?

Among the main dishes, the shrimp was the most delicious (video).
I’m not usually a big fan of Japanese food,
but the beef and squid were too salty…
No one ate the chicken, so I couldn’t taste it.
I ate all the shrimp! 🦐👍
But the dessert was too sweet again ㅋㅋㅋ
Costa Smeralda Casino

Limit spending to a maximum of 50 euros per person per day!
Since it was my first time at a casino, I was nervous and exchanged my money for 10 chips of 5 euros each ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
There were so many types of slot machines,
but I didn’t know the rules well, so I just became a button-pressing bot 🦾🦿
Costa Smeralda
On the way to see another show, I briefly watched a show at the Colosseo Lounge.
Costa Smeralda
I saw this from the middle, so I don’t really know what it is,
Costa Smeralda
Actually, this too…
Among the performances, the only song I recognized was “Thriller,”
but I didn’t upload the video because it was too long. ㅋ
But for over an hour of performance, they changed costumes incredibly quickly,
and one team performed everything… It was amazingly cool…👍
