Contiki Day 8

This morning when we woke up our tents were LOCKED... some of the boys from the concept tour that we were paralleling thought it would be funny to cable tie our zips together... and it would have been, if i hadnt needed to pee so badly.
Today we took a quick drive to Nice. While some of the contiki gorup went to watch australia get beat in the rugby, others went to  the beach. Grace and I spent the day in the sun, and got a little (or a lot) burnt. The beach was beautiful! First we went with Nan and Gran to a lookout, the view was amazing... but the cable car was broken so we had to climb our way up.
Then we had lunch on one of the back streets before heading off to the beach. After a few hours here we went back to the campsite to get ready for our night out in Monaco.
On the way out we each put in €1 and picked a number. Mine was 22, Grace picked 18. I WON! I got an extra €30 odd to spend at the casino.... I only spent €15 and didnt win a thing. After this we headed back to the campsight for an early-ish night.  

Contiki Day 7

Today we traveled to the Antibes, on the French Riviera. On our way we visited Arles, a small, old french town once occupied by the romans. When we arrived in Antibes we set up camp and then went down to the beach- by this time it was night. On our way back to camp we stoped at Antibesland, a theme park down the road from our campsight. then we headed back to camp for an earlz night.

Contiki Day 6

BARCELONA

Today we lernt why not to trust street preformers.

We started the day with a quick city tour where we got to see the Olympic arena´s followed by a tour of the Gothic quarter and a visit to the "Sangrada Familia". After this we had free time to explore the "La Rambla", Barcelona´s cuba street. We decided to spend today with our new friends, Jane, Cat and Cherie. Jane and I possed with an odd looking street preformer while another one almost knocked Grace out with his cardboard sword. As we continued to explore the street we saw some people playing a game agents the street preformer, the one where you guess which matchbox the ball in under. While Grace, Jane and Iwere looking in a souvinere shop, Cat and Cherie decided to play this game..... STUPID idea. €200 later... they decided to stop.

That night we went to the Flamenco evening- here we got to drink more sangria and watch, and join-in in some flamenco dancing. After this we experanced some of Barcelonas nightlife.

Contiki Day 5

Today we traveled to the wounderful city of Barcelona. On our way from Lyon we stoped at the Roman aqueduct at Pont du Gard. The wounderful blue sky made an awesome backdrop to thís amazing ancient building. From here we carried on to Barcelona and sangria (or sanguini as it came to be knowen). Tonight we spent bonding with some of the other contiki travelers.

Contiki Day 4

Today we traveled from Paris to Lyon, where we stoped at the "Chateau de Cruix" in the Beaujlais region of France. Here we got to sample some of the local wine and relax by the chateau´s pool. From here we carried on to our campsite just outside of Lyon where we spent the night singing campfire songs. The view of the city was amazing.
