Nice

So along the way we lost Phil, and Lauren stayed at a different hostel so it was Kate, Janey and I off to Villa Saint Exupery.  I was a bit disappointed at first when I realized there was no pool.  However, it was one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at thus far.  First night we went out to meet all the Busabout crew at a bar called Wayne’s. 
It’s the exact type of bar I dig; live rock music, crazy partiers and cheap drinks.  However, when they choose to let in double their capacity and it takes 30 minutes to get a drink everything else kind of lacks.

     Day 2 wasn’t too exciting; the three of us went for a walk and chilled by the beach for a bit.  Not exactly the best of beaches though, it was all stones, so not very comfortable.  That night we opted for the home cooked meal the hostel offers and it was damn good.  That night was relaxed as we played some UNO girls two English girls and an American.  Even though it was a quiet night we managed to get in trouble for being too loud… in a bar, “Of the 40 drunk people in the bar somehow it was only us making noise… and for all those thinking I must have been drunk, I wasn’t, because then he would have really heard what loud was.”

     Day 3 I trekked off on my own.  First I went to find the Natural History Museum.  I saw the one in London and liked it but this one was pretty weak.  First it took me close to an hour to find because the signage was absolute shit.  Then when I finally found it the place was equally shit.  All it was was one room of aquatic stuff based solely from that area.  The only enjoyable part was that I was that I was reading everything in French and understanding/improving my French.  But that still only took up 20 minutes, so I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art thinking it would be good since it was advertised all over the city.  But, there’s a reason these were both free… they sucked.  So I spent the rest of the day walking along the coast while the Ironman Triathalon was going on and this made up for the poor museums.  That night I met up with the girls and we attempted to go to Monaco to the Monte Carlo Casino.  But a late shuttle made us miss the tram, causing us to miss the train ending our night in disappointment.  But the good company, beautiful scenery and a great hostel made the weekend.  Also I got lucky and managed to evade the police on the Tram each time, sorry for the bad luck girls lol.  Now back on the bus headed to Barcelona
