Landed in Paris at 2pm on a very wet and miserable looking day. Jen met me at the airport and drove me back to her Mum's place where she was staying for the weekend and invited me to stay. After settling in and having an awesome lunch cooked by her Mum, Jen and I headed into the city to visit the Notre Dame cathedral. The line to get in was long but actually only took about 15-20mins. It may not have quite been the most impressive cathedral I've seen on this trip...

Nice was the one city that everyone told you that you must visit whenever the topic of south France was brought up. I'm not entirely sure why Nice nor why no other city was ever mentioned, but in any case I figured I'd better check it out. I spent 3 nights there in total I think it was. A couple of days to see Nice and one to use as a day trip to Monaco. I'm not really sure what to say about Nice. It was nice (heh), but kinda boring. Not a whole lot to do, I gue...

Anyway, the last entry left off with Saul talking to the members of the band that we saw at a bar and asking if they had a couch for us for the next night. Turns out they did, but they lived in Lyon, and we were in Nimes. So what did we do? Well the next day we hitch...

Wow, does this feel like it happened a million years ago. Writing this is an absolute b****, damn French keyboards. So forgive me if there is the odd q instead of a or , instead of m. From Barcelona we had about one week before Saul was off to Europe and we were deciding what to do. The first plan was Italy, but we eventually settled on the south of France as it was closer. However, it didn't prove as easy to get there as it should have. We had a Couchsurfing ho...
