BEACH VOLLEYBALL!!
Hello again!Today was an awesometastic day full of BEACH VOLLEYBALL!
That's right, the beach volleyball we promised you several days ago has finally arrived! Turns out beach volleyball players can't play in wind or imaginary rain forecast by the horrendously undependable Meteo.fr weather service.
Besides that, we also climbed a mountain! A big ol' mountain, and saw the whole city from the top! It also had a big ol' Catholic church on the top with a big ol' gold statue of Mary and Jesus. Nice!
So today is our last day in Marseille, and tomorrow we catch a 7am train (that means getting up at 5, folks) to Rome, which will take 13 hours to arrive and require us to transfer no less than three times. Oh yeah!
Tomorrow's video may or may not contain a swimming pool.
Drenched in my own nasty sweat,

looks like you were the only guys there! Could you have slipped up closer? Or were you stealing seats? Or hiding in the shade?
MMM DICE EYES!!!!!!
so you may have been a bit too far away to see the clever hand signals and other finer points of the game, which I looked up for you...on youtube...

For tomorrow's train ride, you should know that there is a north-south divide in European trains. (in my admittedly dated experience) when you go south of the alps, trains get scruffier, more crowded, and less punctual....and smellier! You might want to stop wearing deodorant in self defence?
i'm happy to see that you two made it through the treacherous terrain that seemed to be the beach and also that stuart's beard seems to be making a comeback...does that mean john will be shaving his again?
Where can I get a pair of those fancy glasses Stuart? Plastic Bottle Glasses will totally be the next IN accessory this summer!
Even the best Italian trains can be scruffy, overcrowded, anarchic, nobody respects reserved seats, smoking in non-smoking carriages is common, or was a few years ago.
I think you are daft going to Rome in August. You'll fry. Venice is better and the swimming is quite good at the Lido and nearby beaches where we camped when your Dad was young. Grandfather
OH NO! DICE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!
The heat, sand and dehydration seems to have rendered Stuart speechless or he has become an alien being..... Perhaps it is best you are moving on... however Rome will be hot and smelly without the benefit of sea... It's almost August and the weather channel suggests hovering at 30 degrees... Hope you will follow the seas but stay away from Sardinia which is reportedly burning...
Funky specs, boys.
