Ola from Barcelona! We got into Barcelona at about 7pm Saturday evening, a little behind schedule as the whole of France seemed to also be heading to Spain. So Spain works on a completely different daily routine than the rest of the world. Dinner isn't eaten until at least 9pm, usually later. The clubs don't open until about midnight, and aren't good until 2am. So to be able to last the whole night the Spanish have a siesta in the afternoon, which suits me just f...

Nice, again! We arrived into Nice just in time for another €2 spaghetti night on Wednesday evening, such good value. We met up with Aleesha again, who I'd first met in Amsterdam and happen to keep bumping into. We stayed at the hotel socialising and headed to bed later on. Thursday we had an early start, got ready and headed to the supermarket for supplies for the day. We had breakfast, made our packed lunch and headed for the bus stop. We went to Monaco, home ...

Lake Como! We arrived about midday monday and left our luggage at the hotel while we wandered before check in time. We had the most amazing salad at a nearby cafe- they had 50 types of salads to choose from, and huge! For about 6-8 euros. Best! We went back to our hotel, for which we'd accidentally booked a 4 bed room for, but emailed and changed back in May. The owner refused to give us our two bed room, insisting we hadn't confirmed his email (for the third tim...

Lauterbrunnen! Switzerland is absolutely beautiful, we didn't want to leave! We arrived Friday evening and were immediately blown away by how stunning the scenery is. Our accommodation was at Jungfrau Camping, like a holiday park with areas for tents and caravans and then plenty of cabins too. We had a cabin with two rooms, a double in one and a set of bunks in the other. As well as a little kitchen and dining room table. Our front door opened out onto a little s...

Milan! We arrived into Milan at about 2pm Wednesday and finally met up with Malaika- my new travel friend for the next few months. It was so so hot in Milan and our hostel was even warmer than outside. We had a fairly relaxed afternoon before heading into the city to meet up with Tom- a friend from Croatia sailing. It was his last night in Europe so we enjoyed a typically Italian dinner- bolognese followed by gelato! Thursday we headed into the city again to see...
