Soooooo then.... That night we hung out at the hostel again. A bunch of people had made dinner together and had put a bunch of tables together they told us to join the party... So we did. It was awesome. I got a little wasted with this vodka that i had smuggled in, we weren't allowed to bring alcohol inside except for wine, so i put my vodka in a plastic bottle... So classy i know :) I just didn't want a cleaner to throw it out. Earlier we went to this church that was not even a 5 minute walk from our hostel but it had beautiful views of lyon. We took some alcohol with us because we wanted to have a nice drink and look at the views... I just mainly wanted to drink my vodka without the threat of being caught. So we went to the church and babas wanted to go inside, so me and babas took alcohol in the church... Please forgive me god! I think god would think wine was ok but not vodka, jesus did not turn water into vodka.... If i found a man who could do that i would marry him. Anyways back on track... ohhh that day this fucken bird ruined our lunch me and babas bought a salad and went and shared it at place bellecour and this bird with this fucken ugly foot kept coming up to us... I wanted to vom. It was funny though. I couldn't look at it and it turned me off my food, which is very rare for me. So that night i went to bed really late cos i was having so much fun at the party hostel, i also really liked lyon cos none of the shops really opened before 12. There was absolutely no reason to wake up early... All the more reason to stay up and drink 1 euro wine... With pineapple juice of course. So in lyon we did a bit of sightseeing but it was so hot we really struggled. We went to the opera house, to some old amphitheatre ruins and we also went to Parc de la Tête d'Or this massive park where they have a free zoo. On Sunday the 16th we decided we wanted to go swimming but the pool was only open till 2 and it would have been a waste to pay for half a day. Plusssss the pool was crap there was no shade and it was all concrete... So we swam in a fountain and it was awesome fun. The only thing was we got out and we had dog hair all over us and we were like what the F? Not long after we got out about 3 dogs were playing in the fountain, i didn't care though it was an awesome way to escape the heat and the locals were doing it too... They were about 10 years old but who cares! On monday i had a lazy day we went back to the fountain but then it clouded over and started to rain. Babsi went shopping but i had to go back to the hostel and sleep. Too much wine and no sleep catches up with you eventually. So i had a nap because we were heading off to avignon the next day for a few hours then going to nice to meet babsi's boyfriend and another boy and travel with them in a car around more of france. That night once i woke up we hung around at the hostel again, it was so much fun in that hostel in lyon i always found it hard to go to sleep because there was so many awesome people around to talk to. There were alot of germans and also a guy from new zealand and one from adelaide who were cool. I missed talking to people from our side of the world.

The next day we woke up at 6am. We had booked an open ticket for Avignon we thought it was open for the day we wanted to go. Our plans had changed because we originally wanted to go to avignon on sunday. We went back to the train station to change the ticket, and we told them we didn't want to leave on sunday but tuesday. This was a waste of time because the ticket was valid for anytime in one month. So that was ok atleast we didn't have to change the ticket. We woke up, got to the train station at about 8 or something... And then next train wasn't till 11am to avignon this gave us about 2 hours in avignon till we had to catch another train to meet the boys in nice. We just exchanged this ticket for one straight to nice which was dissapointing because babsi really wanted to go to avignon. I hate trains. They break my balls. I was really looking forward to having a car so we could relax and it would be cheaper too.

We got to nice and they boys had already found a hostel for us which was good. On the way to the hostel they were telling us horror stories about it like, it has no doors, we have to sleep on the floor and all this other bullshit. The hostel was pretty good actually... At first glance anyway. It had a pool which was awesome going for a swim was the first thing we did. No more fountains for us! We went to the supermarket and wasted money on a whole bunch of crap because we were hungry. We couldn't keep it either cos the hostel didn't have a fridge... Well they did but we weren't allowed to use it. We drank a little bit but all it did was make me feel even more exhausted so i went to bed.

The next day we went to Monaco. It was a beautiful place and it was amazing to look at all these expensive boats and designer shops. We went to the Prince's Palace, but it was so hot the day we went i didn't really enjoy it that much. It doesn't matter thought cos i think i'm going back there with contiki. The best part of the day was when we went in the water, just before we went back to the car we found this place where you could jump right into the ocean. It had all concrete steps that you could sit on and the water was so deep. There was fishes too! We were hanging out at the hostel that night and we saw Frank the Tank he is a guy who was also at our hostel in Lyon. The boys invited him to come with us to Montpellier. The next day we went to Grasse to a perfume factory with Frank the tank. It was a nice day but i think i'm going there again with contiki... Frick. That night we had a picnic on the beach in Nice, we had to tell Frank that he couldn't come with us to Montpellier cos it was way too cramped with 5 people in the car. It was sad cos frank the tank is awesome.

The next day we drove to Montpellier. We got a campsite and ate some dins then walked to the beach to have a look around. They were cooking seafood and mussels in massive wok things in the restaurants. I have never seen so much seafood in my life. It was like 9pm and they just kept cooking and cooking and cooking. Montpellier was a bit boring at times. The beach was awesome and it was really good to relax but i was sleepy all the time. I think it was because it was so hot. We went into Montpellier to go shopping one of the days which was fun. The weather there was so hot everyday, there was barely a cloud in the sky. Also i ate a baguette every day... So much bread. The bread is so good in france and cheap. We also had a Lidl near us, a cheap german supermarket similar to Aldi, which was good because it saved us alot of moneys.

That’s all I have to say for now :) this keyboard is f-ed and its breaking my balls
