Today we decided to do the shuttle into Marseille rather than a tour. Once we arrived we saw a little train that took a route up to the impressive basilica on the top of the hill. Always done a tour to one of the lovely towns in the area in the past, never been to the basilica before. It was a wonderful trip, about 1 hour 15 minutes long and you could stay at the basilica as long as you wanted as the trains ran every 20 minutes. The views were amazing and the weather absolutely perfect. Sunshine and no wind. The basilica was absolutely stunning. Pictures will come later on it was gorgeous. On the top of the basilica is a large gold statue (I think of the Virgin Mary ) just glistening in the sun. We really had a great time. On our return we just made the shuttle bus to come back, perfect timing.

Tomorrow Portofino.
