Flying from Bangkok to Marseilles via Rome

Illy coffee
The Thai Airways (TG) flight from Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi (BKK) to Rome-Leonardo da Vinci (FCO) was packed. It was a smooth flight, which arrived on time in Rome. The Boeing 747-400 was packed and it was a 10:30 long flight to Rome.
I had enough time for my connecting flight to Marseilles. It was nice to walk from one end of Fiumicino Airport Terminal to the other end after sitting for so many hours. I took the time to take an expresso macchiato to get the local feel. 
Near Bastia, Corsica
My next Air France (AF) from Rome (FCO) to Marseilles-Provence (MRS) left right on time. It was a short and beautiful flight as we passed above the northern part of the island of Corsica and then along the French Riviera before landing at Marseilles after a 1:05 long flight. The Airbus A-319 reached the Riviera after Corsica and passed above the Giens peninsula, Toulon, La Ciotat, Bandol and all the 'calanques' before landing.
