End of Day 61, 62, 63 & 64 Eight hours on the train flew by as we actually had some decent company. Wine was drunk, adventure books read and given away and we almost were able to convince our new friends to come and join us in Toulouse. However they hopped off two hours before the end and left us to ride the rest of the way by ourselves. Arriving in Toulouse at 8pm we were worried we would struggle once again to find accommodation. Our fears seemed to be tr...

Day 59, 60 & 61 As I sit on yet another train, writing this blog, I can't help but feel like a backpacker. After waiting for a delayed train, sitting on an unmoving train for an hour (somewhat comfortably), being told to swap trains and then finding that there are no seats on the new train really showed me what it is to travel cheap.

We packed up our stuff and headed straight out, down the giant hill for the last time and on to the bus to the train station. Thinking getting to the station would take a lot longer and unable to have any breakfas...

Day 53, 54 & 55 Well what can I say about Lyon. After catching the fast train from Paris, which meeting expectations, was very fast, we were excited to be in a city we knew nothing about. A bus trip to our hostel showed us how pretty the city was, having 2 rivers that ran through the centre and old school houses and buildings in every direction. Catching what seemed like the steepest train in the world took us up to our place which appeared to be on the onl...
