The most famous island in Marseille is If owing to Alexandre Dumas' adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo. I would like to pay a one-day visit to this island, but the kids had no interest. They were more interested in the transportation than the destination. I guess that is the difference between adults and kids. Finally we decided to take a cruise to see the coast and islands. I could see the If island from the boat, they said.
马赛最著名的岛屿当然是伊夫岛，这得归功于大仲马的名著《基督山伯爵》。我本想花一天时间去伊夫岛的城堡上好好看看，无奈孩子们对此丝毫没有兴趣。跟旅游的目的地相比，他们对交通方式更感兴趣。这就是成年人跟孩子的区别。最后，我们决定乘坐游船看看海岸和附近的岛屿，这样，我至少可以从船上眺望一下伊夫城堡。
Previously on Summer Holiday in Southern France (带着俩娃游南法 前情回顾):
- Day 1: Nice (第一天：尼斯)
- Day 2: Monaco (第二天：摩纳哥)
- Day 3: Cannes (第三天：戛纳)
- Day 4 and 5: Marseille (第四第五天：马赛)
Day 6 and 7. Cruise and swimming
There were two kinds of cruises available, so called the small cruise of 2.25 hours, and big cruise of 3.25 hours. The latter went half an hour farther. Considering that my younger kid might probably fall asleep, and everyone was tired on Day 6, we took the small cruise. We only sat in the boat and did not have to get up. It was an energy-saving day!
游船的航行线路有大小两种，耗时分别是2.25和3.25小时。度假的第六天，考虑大家都累了，另外二娃可能会睡着，于是我们选择了小航线。我们只需坐在船里欣赏海岸风光就行了，甚至站都不用站起来。这是懒洋洋的一天。
The kids were full of energy on Day 7. They were looking forward to playing on the beach. By taking Bus 19 we found a beach, which was not as good as the one in Cannes, but better than the one in Nice. At least there was sand rather than stones!
第七天，孩子们恢复了体力，再次朝气蓬勃地要求玩沙子。搭乘19路公交车就抵达了一片沙滩，虽然不如戛纳的沙滩好，但总胜过了尼斯的石头滩——至少有沙子！

Hi this is funny to see some pictures from my home town Marseille I hope you liked it. "Les calanques de Marseille" is my favorite spot for swimming its really beautiful and the water is so clear. Have a good holyday
p.s. You forgot the "i" of "vieux port" which means old port in french
It must be lucky of you to have such a wonderful hometown! Marseille is the best place in this trip of mine and I love it. Thank you for your correction. I saw 'vieux' again in Nice, maybe in 'Vieux Ville' or something like that, and I realized that it must mean 'Old town'. Always helpful to learn some French!
Do you have T.P. for my bunghole? I would hate for my bungholio to get polio.
到處也是好風光呢，真好！
呃，其实也有脏乱差的照片，我没贴上来而已……打算留给本系列最后一帖。
你们在法国会说法语吗？或者说英语就行？
此行皆是旅游城市，英语就行，法语更好。
