Costa Neo Romantica: The Interiors

Posted on January 17, 2013 | Leave a comment

My short cruise in the Mediterranean

Following my previous posts, I received emails asking me how the Costa Neo Romantica’s interiors look like. Honestly, it’s really like “The Love Boat”! The interiors were freshly redesigned by Swedish designers and some of them look like the film sets of Lynch (picture 1), or Tarantino (picture 2). Yes I know, I have lots of imagination (LOL!).

As I stood outside, especially on the upper decks to enjoy the stonish panorama in my wicker egg (so relaxing and design!), or I was out and about at each stopover, I did not really pay attention to the interiors. Picture 3: Internet to calm the nerd!!! Pictures 4 & 5: really good gourmet restaurant.

Costa Neo Romantica: La décoration intérieure

Posted on January 17, 2013 | Leave a comment

Ma mini croisière en Méditerrannée

Suite à mes précédents posts, j’ai reçu plusieurs e-mails pour me demander à quoi ressemblait l’intérieur du Costa Neo Romantica. Honnêtement, c’est “La croisière s’amuse”!

La déco du navire pourtant fraîchement repensée par des designers suédois, est assez kitsch! Certaines parties rappellent les décors des films de Lynch (photo 1, le cabaret), ou Tarantino (photo 2, le grand bar)! Oui je sais, j’ai beaucoup d’imagination (lol!).

Mais comme je restais surtout à l’extérieur, sur les ponts supérieurs à dévorer le panorama dans mon exclusif oeuf en osier (plutôt design!), ou j’étais en vadrouille à chaque escale : je n’y ai pas trop prêté attention. Photos 3 : Internet pour calmer la nerd!!! Photos 4 & 5 : très bon restaurant gastronomique.

Marseille in 5 Hours: The Islands & Le Panier

Posted on January 10, 2013 | Leave a comment

Last stopover: 5 hours in Marseille 

(South of France), well let’s say 3h-3h30 in the city of Marseille. After visiting the Chateau d’If, we took the wrong shuttle: instead of returning to the vieux port (the old harbor), we discovered other small islands off the coast of Marseille. Beautiful landscapes (pictures 1, 2 & 3), a picturesque marina cove, the feeling of being so far away, the slowness.

Back to the Vieux Port (picture 4, the old harbour), I head to Le Panier, a famous heritage district in the old Marseille (picture 5). Getting lost in the quiet streets, which many are under construction. I’d love to make a full turn before lounging on the terrace of a cafe, but  we must return to the path of the ferry. Tram, bus and 15-20 minutes walk to the dock! Definitely too long and not really glam (lol)!
