1st time at Southampton, seemed okay but did not see a lot of it!

Very disappointed, Gibraltar was not what we expected, run down and smelly. Mainly tacky shops, no easy transport via taxi to and from beaches. Only point of a trip here would be for cheap alcohol and perfume.

Beautiful town, really enjoyed browsing the shops on the main street of the town.

Private train was ok, quick and fairly straightforward journey into Rome.

Rome itself was lovely, but extremely disappointed that the Trevi fountain was undergoing restoration, guess it means I will have to go back again!

Pisa was definitely a site to behold but we needed a lot more time there, this trip gave us just under an hour.

Visited Marseille on a Sunday so a lot of it was shut, but after walking about 15 mins down the main promenade found a lovely café selling cakes / sandwiches etc.

It was roughly opposite the end of the marketplace.

Nice place to shop, but be careful you don't get lost (like we did!) very small winding streets, no-one we spoke to new enough English to guide us back to the port, take a phrase book!

Took a bus to the Oceanario (aquarium), later found on the return trip would have been cheaper for the 4 of us to go there by taxi (under 8 Euros on the way back).

Enjoyed the aquarium, it was good size and well maintained. Also did the temporary exhibit.

Small shopping mall right next to the port, some nice little shops including a jewellers with reasonably priced watches / earrings etc. A few souvenir shops selling mainly poor quality wares, but at the top of the hill and round the corner there is a nice little gift shop selling Santoro Gorjuss range - my daughter wanted to buy out the shop!
