French Reviera!

Man I can see why movie stars come here a lot! This place is absolutley amazing! The beaches are so magical and so relaxing! Today we got another free day to go exploring! Jasmine, Alex, Pru, Cody and I went to Nice. (Pronounced 'neese' not 'nice') It is one of my favourite places so far!
We went to the beach and believe it or not, there is no sand! Only pebble rocks. This makes the ocean so blue! It's beautiful. I may also mention, some people may have 'forgotten' or 'lost' there clothes on the beach... It was crazy how people feel that comfortable to just lie in public naked! I of course would NEVER do it! hehe!
We then went had and had a really nice lunch. After that we walked up this chateau that has a really nice view of the town. We then went and go some yum as ice cream and laid back on the beach again! (not topless) This place is amazing. I so want to come back here again!! :)



Paris!

After waking up super early, the contiki hit the road! We travelled on the bus for about 6 hours, aswell as the trip on the ferry. It went pretty quick! Did heaps of socialising on the bus so that we all got to know each other a bit more! We have a fantastic group!
I finally arrived in the beautiful city of Paris! It just blew me away! Everything about it is so incredibly beautiful! We dropped off our luggage at the hotel an then we hopped back on the bus and they gave us a tour around Paris! I couldn't believe I was actually in Paris... the city I have dreamed of my whole life!
The next day, we had the day to our selves to do what we wanted to do. I decided to climb the eiffel tower! It was pretty tiring, but when we got to the top, the view was sooo worth it!! We then went to the Louve and saw the Mona Lisa. (much smaller than what I expected, but it was still good!)
After a long day of walking and sight seeing, we went back to the hotel and got all dressed up for the night ahead of us! We all went out for a beautiful dinner, tried frog legs and snails and they weren't too bad! After that we all went to see a cabaret. It was absolutley amazing and to top it off we got heaps of free champagne! So as you can imagine, I was off my tree by the end of the show! hehe! And of course we all wanted to keep partying! So we went to a club in the city called sullys and had sooooo much fun! Hot french boys EVERYWHERE! May have kissed a couple, (amazing!) and I think its fair to say that by the end of the night I got quiet good at dancing with french boys! They are pretty forward and lets say.. very intimate. And to be quiet honest, I was kinda over french boys by the end of the night! We partied till the morning and of course the next day was the death of me. Massive hangover and very little sleep as we had to hop on the bus very early! and that was the end of Paris! But it defenitly won't be forever!

The first person I met was a girl name Jess. She is quiet the character! She nis from Canberra in Australia and works for Telestra. I then made friends with a girl named Pru. She is a from the Sunshine Coast and is a Lawyer. I then met a brother and sister named Alex and Jasmine from the United States in Arizona. Really lovely people! And they were only just the beginng! We had some drinks at the bar and then had to go back to our hostels as we were leaving at 6am in the morning! Paris here I come!! :)
