Day 20: French Riviera

Bonjour once again, friends! Day 20 of my Euro tour and I'm on the French Riviera! We had a smashing day in Barcelona yesterday, seeing all the sights and trying the local cuisine of churros, tappas and Sangria. Been making friends slowly, but surely, just recently made friends with the two most beautiful ladies on our tour, felt very lucky to be spending the day with them n Barcelona. Went out for dinner last night and went to a bar afterwards, whch ended up turning into several clubs as well, but was all very fuin. nobody actually thought that the next day on the bus of course, but, it always sounds like a good idea the day before, not neccessarily the morning after. Anyway, visited a French perfumery this evening before going to the wrong hotel and driving to the right one, though everybody was more than satisfied with our fabulous dinner and excellent rooms. Looks like tomorrow will be spent mostlyu on the beaches before we get ready for a night tour of the second smallest country in the world, Monaco! We'll be visiting the casino there tomorrow night, which looks to be a great time indeed, then our next stop will be Italy!! Right now, everybody is just enjoying the downtime before we hit the frantic rush known as Italy and Austria. I'm off then, hoping for a good night sleep before our super bech day tomorrow. ciao for now all!
