Another great plane ride. There was some trouble with our tickets--apparently they overbooked the flight soooo ... we got bumped up to business class! It was great. We got to cut in line a bunch and all sorts of fun stuff. There was even a complimentary bar with our meal/snack. We landed in Nice at around 6:30 and immediately fell in love with the beautiful ocean-front city. We had some time before our train departed, so we walked down to the beach. As soon as...

So the other night, we met up with our new South African friends in the hostel's bar. They were really great. Jacque and Gerry were a lot of fun, but unfortunately, Jacque's girlfriend was not happy that he was talking to "the hot chick." So they got in a fight and I felt terrible. I wasn't even really flirting with him, though! lol The funny part was when I asked Jacque why she was mad, he said, "Because I'm talking to the hot chic...

The busdriver let us store them below deck on the charter bus. We met two Australian women on the ride to Bath and Stonehenge. They were very nice and made the trip very pleasant. We spent an hour at Stonehenge and got plenty of pictures. (Check out the photo album). It really is a very bizarre place to...

We took pics of the Tower Bridge, which is actually the more interesting-looking of the two. We went window-shopping and discovered that we pretty much couldn't afford anything. So expensive!! We ate at a deli/restaurant called "Pret a Manger." They're literally on ev...

Take-off on the an airplane is incredible! The moment we emerged over the clouds was the coolest thing ever. We flew economy class, but I gotta say, I have no complaints. The dinner was even great. It's weird that I couldn't see the stars, though. We flew at night, but I guess the plane was too bright. The woman who sat next to us, an English lady, was really friendly and gave us lots of tips about London. She said that we absolutely had to eat fish a...
