As you can see from Ken's pictures we visited Toulon as the port of Sanary Sur Mer was not accessible by tender. Toulon is only 10 minutes from Sanary Sur Mer so we docked in Toulon and all the tours ran as originally planned.

Not a tourist town like our other ports but fun to walk a really local old town it was interesting. Ken bought me some cherries at the market that I have been really enjoying. Again a stunning day, not too hot and sunny,

Today we went to Minorca what a nice island. Laid back with white houses, old rock walls, green fields and lots of trees. Crystal blue water to top off the scenery. A nice tour with three stops with free time so the boys went nuts with the photography. Lots of old farm houses that can be modernized inside but must retain the original exterior. This island is really protecting their heritage and not allowing huge high rise hotels. A must slower pace than most of the areas we have visited.

Enjoying trivia with the Simpsons, Anne, Gary and Cindy and Mark. We have held our own with a lot of second places and an substantial win as well. They now give tokens for first, second and third place.

This has been a great trip. I have been on tours that I was not thrilled with and happy to be back at the ship. But this trip they have all been pretty good and very enjoyable. This area of the world is wonderful and every port has not disappointed. The food has been good too, fantastic seafood on the lunch buffet each day in La Verandah.

Last day tomorrow - off to a wine tasting at 9.30 am in the morning. It has passed so quickly.
