So France was awesome, but getting there- oh my gosh. Let me just try and explain our travel day. First off, Tina and I usually have no idea what we are doing, but we have gotten pretty good at the railway, so I thought we would be okay. France is the first country where people do not speak English- problem number 1. Problem number 2- on our first train (first of 4) we realized we had 10 minutes to buy our bus ticket to take an hour bus ride to our 3rd train. It took us forever to buy the bus ticket because we could not communicate to the lady which bus, then when we had them she could not communicate to us where the bus was. We finally made it on the bus, rode it for an hour, and then had FOUR minutes to catch our train. I literally texted 10 people in the US in the middle of the night their time trying to get our train platform, but some nice lady on the bus called for us. So we caught the train to Paris. We get to paris around 5- which is PRIME time for the metro. We had to squeeze in (literally) everyone is pushing, its so stressful, and then i hear my name being yelled. Tina's pack got stuck in the doors of the metro. The alarm went off and it happened again. The metro was totally thrown off schedule because of us- we looked so dumb. we finally got to our hostel, and both cried- an hour later we were belly laughing. but dang it was a stressful day. All that to say, backpacking is not easy;)
BUT Paris was awesome. We were only there for a day, the day that the Louvre is closed, so that was no fun, but we got to go to Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, and St. Chapelle- which in my opinion is the prettiest church I have ever seen. We spent the entire day walking the city and ate awesome crepes.
Nice was also incredible. The water was SOOO blue and beautiful. We love being on the coast. We also took a bus and spent a day in Monoco- which is where Monte Carlo is, and it was so much fun. France is beautiful, and the coast is just incredible. On our train ride yesterday to Spain we were on the coast of France a ton of the time and it was red rocks and blue ocean and just BEAUTIFUL!
We made it to Barcelona and love it! on Wednesday we are going to Ibiza, am island off the coast of spain. We are having the best time- miss and love yall so much!
