We proved what we wanted to prove - travelling for a week trying not to spend more than 100eur is impossible:) Anyway, it wasn't about the exact numbers of money, it was about the idea, so in the future for sure there will be more 99eur trips. Thanks a lot to everybody who contributed to our trip:
Irune & Arrate: for the pre-travel info of their homeland
Juozas: for the sleeping bag
Tadas: for the portable kitchen
Povilas: for the last-minute backpack
Trenitalia: for the "good" service :)
To everybody who believed that the 99EURtrip will change the world! Well it didn't, but at least we had a lot of fun :P

We is back

After all night spent in trains and stations this morning we came back to Bolzano. The trip is finished! Yesterday we spent some time in Monaco - an amazingly small and amazingly expensive country. I checked the menu of one bar - the cheapest dish you can get was some salads for 13EUR, we decided to skip it:) On the other hand, Ferraris on the streets, the perfect cleanness and the luxury all around makes Monaco something not to forget. We walked down on foot through almost all country(!), passing also the streets that are used for the F1 race (MonteCarlo track). The skidding marks of the race cars were clearly visible on every corner. We reached Italy in a car of a couple friendly French girls (btw if you are reading this, thanks a lot for the lift!), then took several trains and arrived back to BZ.. Time to take some rest:) The summary of the trip as well as the pictures are coming soon.

It Nice, I like!

We are alive, and not only alive but also in Nice! I write shortly, because the internet is not for free anymore here in France.. So, on Sunday after leaving hot Barcelona we reached the Costa Brava, the small villages l'Escala and Empuriabrava. By the way, that day in Barcelona was some massive woman maraton, the streets were closed for ~1000 (or even more) orange dressed ladies, that was a crazy view. In the beach we had some lunch and after the cold swimming session we made a goal to reach France by the next day. The plans were underestimated, since the next morning we were already drinking coffe almost in the middle of France, Lyon, thanks to a friendly driver, who was from some country called Lithuenia (or smth similar).. Anyway, we tried to change the direction of the trip and head out towards Paris (heard they have some nice tower there, hmmm), but just then we faced the f**king freezing morning weather of Lyon we realized we are not equiped enough to go that much to the north in the end of October. So we keep on our old plan and go back south:) By the Monday evening we reach St.Raphael, a very beautiful city on the coast of France, not far away from Cannes. Well the beauty was a bit gloomed by the darkness and by the fact we were hell tired. So we take a train to Cannes and spent a night there on a laying-chairs of the beach, that belongs to some bar, so they have umbrellas and even a shower around, great success! I had never slept outside better than last night. At 8 o'clock the bar is opening - time to leave to Nice. And here we are, the Cote d'Azure seamed a bit cloudy yesterday, but now it's fully sunny, so we go to look around!

99EUR washed away

So, it's the 5th day of the trip, time to sum up the new expences:

Travelling around - 52EUR
Food - 22EUR
Fun -31EUR (including one of the best discos of Barcelona)
Sleeping - 33,5EUR
Total - 210EUR

Oops, 99EUR were washed away quite soon.. but that does not mean our project is finished or not succeded. We continue on the saving program and at the end we will see how our next project shall be called:)

A Fan

As you might probably know our project's popularity is increasing exponentially every day. People ask us in the streets how and why did we decide to do this trip, the fan clubs of the 99eur trip are gathering all around the world.. Here's just 1 simple example cought in a street of Barcelona:)

Barcelona checkpoint

After the flight to Spain, the nightwalking in the completely empty Gerona, cold 4 hours sleep in a kindergarden, we finally reached the biggest and the main checkpoint! Although a bit tired, we r happy the summer is back, well at least here in Barcelona. For the next night we settle down at a youth hostel, which has no difference from a crowded flat:), but the best thing is that we are the very city center! The building from outside looks pretty much like a palace. The city center, La Rambla are amazingly full of tourists, we just made a small tour around and the 1st visit to the supermarket.. Now after the lunch it´s a high time for an afternoon siesta nap - recharging ourselves for the evening and the night time is a crucial thing:)

By the way, as promissed before, here is some quick and rough accountancy of the expences so far:
Flight - 30EUR
Travelling around - 18EUR
Hostel - 16,5EUR
Food/Drinks - 7EUR
Total - 71,5EUR

28,7EUR left after the 1st day.. hmm.. time to squeze a little bit:)
