Barcelona, Spain!




When we first arrived in Barcelona we had had nearly two days in a row on the bus and we were a bit pessimistic and grumpy plus the city didn't look the best when we first arrived in comparison to France. All that changed though when we went out for the night! We had a nice group dinner about a half hour walk from our hotel then went to a Flaminco show after which was really cool! After a few cocktails we headed out to a club and danced the night away! The club was gorgeous and massive - we were so surprised it was jam packed by midnight especially because it was a Sunday! We didn't get home till the early hours of the morning, had a few hours sleep then got up and explored the city! It was a beautiful day, they had really good markets there and we ended up walking for around 8 hours that day all over the city! I really enjoyed myself there, this trip is really good in terms of variety like one day we will be in a city looking at historical buildings and the next we will be in a fun city going out and having a blast or just chilling on the beach! We felt safe there too, everyone warns of pick pocketers etc but we didnt see anything dodgy, you just have to be aware and have your bag on you 100% of the time, we have shoulder bags the we carry in front of us at all times. One guy on our tour bus passed out on the beach after drinking too much and woke up with his pockets emptied....
After another day on the bus yesterday we arrive in Nice, France which is where I am now. On the way we stopped off at a perfumery and had a tour it was so interesting, today we have been at a gorgeous beach so were just stopping for some lunch now then its off to Monaco for the night to visit the Monte Carlo casino!
