Day 65 & 66 20 hours, 4 trains and many kilometers later we had finally arrived in country number 5, Portugal, and we were pumped. Despite being ridiculously tired, sweaty and hungry we were amped to be in the city where our favourite chicken was everywhere, or so we thought. After following a long list of instructions to get to our place, taking us down a massive hill and then back up, we finally arrived at this old, tiny building with a small sign saying...

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.

Once we hopped off the train I could tell why James Bond gambles here. The place was incredible. Beaut...

Day 57 Our first day in Nice was quite a chilled one as we just wanted to kick back and hit the beach. After we moved out of the dirtiest apartment we had ever seen, we walked around town looking for somewhere better to stay. Finding only really expensive or fully booked hostels we reconsidered going back to where we were. However after remembering how creepy the place was, we decided to fork out the bit extra and go somewhere livable. We slowly made our way t...
