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!
