Mind the gap

So.
In total we ended up staying in Barcelona for 8 nights. We Just got REALLY lazy and decided we should cut out Avignon and Lyon and go straight from Barca to Paris. best. decision. ever. It was so nice to be settled in one place for longer than 3 nights. and everyone at the hostel was so friendly. It was one big happy family. Duda (the manager I guess) also gave us beds for super cheap because we had "good vibrations" so it seemed stupid to leave. When we did eventually pack up and go it was really sad! Everyone was gathered in reception to see us off. It was nice.

We got a sleeper train to Paris. We had heard horror stories from friends about train pirates and crazy abusive German ladies who throw bread rolls at you BUT our trip was really pleasant. It was just like a plane but way better. The seats were bigger and cushier and they reclined all the way back. Yum. Tulla met us in Paris which was nice. Sarah and I were always eager for new people to talk to. We did the typical tourist stuff. Eiffle tower. Arc. The Champs Elysees. The Louvre. blah blah blah. It was all cool I guess but I just didn't dig Paris. It was kinda a dull place. A dull place full of amazing things but still... dull. At least the food was good. Duck and crepes and cheese. OH MY! Yeah I pretty much just ate my way around Paris. It was grand. And oh so delicious. Soooooo many pastries. oh mylanta they were scrumptious. Made the trip totally worth it.

Now I'm back in Jolly old England. Staying with Tess and Lucy. I've found a place of my own but I can't move in until May so it seems I may be here a while. On Saturday we go to Ireland for st Pats. Terror. It's going to be full on. Today I went to Spitalfields Market and bought a green jacket just for the occasion. It seemed necessary.

Now I'm watching the real housewives of orange county.
Must devote my full attention to it.
Adios Amigos.
