The black out curtains in Nice turned out to be a god send, slept until 11am completely uninterrupted! Feeling fresh and revitalized, me and Troy heading out for our free morning to explore the pretty, beachside town. We settled down in a nice looking Italian restaurant and had the best meal thus far! A shared plate of antipasto, a seafood plate for my self and a pizza for Troy, saw us very full indeed! I pottered back to the hotel to read my book and relax, whil...

Captains log 07/06/13. Well well well, the first all nighter took place. After a dangerously big night out we had to be up and ready to go at 645. 0 hours sleep, a quick breakfast and on to nice. Lucky for us the other 15 people that came out were also feeling like death. On the 8 hour bus trip, I tried to sleep but just couldn't get comfortable, Bella like always, blacked out instantly. The drive was ok and Levi made great time so before we new it, we had arrive...

After a decent breakfast at the hotel, we waisted no time in heading into the heat of Barcelona, the main street, La Rambla.

Filled with stalls, we had a blast checking them all out, before arriving at the port and beac...

Captains log 05/06/13, we leap out of bed bright and early after a quite night in the cheateu and down for a quick breakfast before departing. Breakfast was shrug but nothing like a coffee so bitter it b**** slaps you awake before the caffeine even has a chance to work. Then off to Barcelona, we had a delayed start because Aaron ( an exact cookie cutter image of macermore) pressed the emergency open door and sent the bus into 30 minutes of rather annoying beep at...

Today was mainly a travel day. From Paris we visited a beautiful little town about an hour out, which was home to the royal hunting palace. A very impressive building with statues of hounds, stage and gods of hunt thought the garden. From there it was about a 5hr drive to the burgundy wine region where we spent the night in an old chateau. We had a lovely dinner, wine and an early night, ready for the drive to Barcelona at 745 tomorrow morning!
