Barcelona, Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Verona, Venice - I've bewn busy!

Right so where to start....

The 2nd night in Barcelona we went andbhad tapas for dinner. Chilled with a Sangria at the hostel. Went for gelato. Then called it a night. The next day we left Barcelona for Nice.

Nice was quite a cool little city. We arrived. Went for dinner. Then ended up dancing on tables at Waynes bar. Highly recommend it if you find yourself there.  The next day everyone had a bit of a mix of what they wanted to do. I headed over to Cannes in the morning then that evening we booked it to Monaco. On the way to the bus I got shat on by a bird so that went well. Had a look around the palace. Flag was up so the royals were home.

And then the Grand Casino.  What a place. Inside thw building is amazing. Outside the sports cars are plentiful. Ordered a 90euro bottle of champagne.  And then went to the blackjack table. Won 190 Euros. Then called it.

Dinner time. After asking one of the restaurants if they could seat us and being told no we decided there wasnt enough time for a sit down meal so found McDonalds. Royale with cheese. Yum. And also apparently it was my shout for mcflurrys.

Back to the hostel and bed. Good decision. Cue bus ride to Venice via Verona. Verona was pretty cool. Grabbed boob at Giulietta's statue which is near her balcony. After that. More gelato then bus to Venice.

Our accommodation in Venice is great. With another topdeck meal tentbwith an amazing dinner of pasta and gnocchi. There is a massive pool and a great bar. Watched the UEFA Champions league final. Go Barcelona! After some bucket cocktails and some normal ones headed to bed with Venice to see in the am.

Another great brekky from topdeck. And then on the bus to Venice. Walked to St Marco Square and had a squiz. Went to a Venetian lace school which was cool. And then we went on a gondola ride. After the ride I had some cuttlefish pasta with black sauce which was delish. Caught the boat back to the bus and then more gelato. I sense a theme.

Back in the pool for the arvo and then here I am typing. Having such a good time. I can't recommend doing this enough.
