Europe

Hey guys, wow its been a while i cant even remember what to write theres so much that has happened its just so hard to find time to use the net on a contiki your always on the go and barely have time to sleep. I'm in Nice at the moment we have a free day to relax so we went to the beach and now i'm here. Wow Since the last entry We've had the Festa in Nadur, Gozo which was nice. Hrs of fireworks they really done well this year, and heaps of drinking, Gosh so much has happened since then i dont know where to start. I went to london on the 7th July a week ago. How small is this world i was in the pub of my hotel in London meeting all the people on my tour and i turn around and there sitting down drinking was a friend of mine from high school whom i havent seen in 7 yrs. We're not on the same tour tho but if was good cathching up. The next morning we all left for Dover to catch the Ferry to France n then a 4 hr bus drive to Paris. Wow although it rained most of the time it is such a beautiful city. So much to see and do. Me n a few of the girls were up the next morning at 7am and didnt get back to our hotel til 530pm n only cause we went to moulin rouge that night at 6pm. We saw and went up the eiffel tower, now thats a must when you go to Paris the view from the top is Amazing, We had Chocolat banana n cream crepes yummy and then went to the arc de triumf - No idea how to spell it - It's this crazy round about where no insurance company will cover any accidents its that bad in the middle of it is a memorial for an unknown soldier and many others. After that we headed to the lourve to see the mona lisa which is smaller then you'd think and then headed to the notre dame cathedral. The building are beautiful in France and half finished. They've been building most of the cathedrals since the 1800's. Later that night we went to the Moulin Rouge it was a relaxing evening great show too much tits though degraded the woman. Oh n i ate frog legs and snails i have pics to proove it lol they were delicious Day 3 we headed for Barcelona Spain. I'm saying right now i never want to catch a bus in my life again 10hrs it took us with stops to get there i was so sick but it was worth it I enjoyed Spain The night life was crazy and so much fun i went out both nights til morning, i've made heaps of friends on the tour they're all pretty great there's 48 of us and we're all aussie 1 is canadian 1 is american n 3 are from new zealand so all of us feel like we havent left Australia n are just hanging out every day. We feel like we're in big brother cause we're together everyday all the time. Oh i forgot to mention my room mate is great thank god she's a really nice Croatian girl from Sydney called Mia. So yeah Spain Didnt do much site seeing went to dinner saw a flamenko dance show which intense, They tell a story with there dancing not that i understood what was happening but the emotions they put into their dancin is intense. Spain was a shopping fest for me, Great clothes now i'm waiting for italy to buy shoes. = )So yeah another long bus trip the next day and we arrived in Nice we had to shower n head straight out as soon as we get there cause we had dinner booked at 7pm then last night we headed for a pub called Waynes. I had a great night it went off. Besides the fact that you could barely move and after you have a few drinks they push all the tables aside and turn them into dance floors i mean litterally they want you to dance on them Theres a live band the host was great fun and after bout 1am it turns into a dj request party. The highlight of my night though was the sailors. thats right men in uniform. The French Navy decided to have a night out so i made sure they stayed with our group everyone took their sailor hats we all took photos and danced all night, alot of fun. So yeah here i am now the next day just at the beach in Nice and now going to shower and head out for Monaco for dinner and casino. Tomorrow morning we head out to Italy Venice. Cant wait. Dont know when i'll be able to write again but hopefully sooner than last time
