Going to keep this one relatively brief in the interests of
getting out to socialize a little bit tonight.
Anyways today was Day 6 of our tour, and another travel day.
We bussed from Barcelona to Nice today, stopping only twice along the way- once
for lunch (we again selected Mc Donalds in order to keep our food cost down)
and the second to a perfume factory. The perfume factory was more interesting
than I thought it would be. We got walked through how the perfumes were created
including a bit about “noses” which are people who can smell something and pick
up on hundreds of different elements of smell mixed together. Apparently there
are only 50 noses in the world and one works at their company and comes up with
the scents for their perfumes. Our guide had a sense of humour and was making
us laugh the whole way through.
After that, we really just drove some more. We got to our
hostel about 8:20 and climbed up 4 flights of stairs with our suitcases. We
lucked out again, while some people had 6 people in their rooms, some of the
couples including Matt and I ended up with double rooms to ourselves (just
based on the availability of rooms in the hostel). We have our own shower, toilet and sink... and a balcony with an amazing view!! Dinner was included today,
chicken and potatoes at 8:45. We finished up our meal, picked up a few
brochures and headed up to our hostel for showers. Matt is just finishing his
now and afterwards, we plan on hanging out at the hostel with a few people
here, having a drink or 2, and then heading to bed because we are getting up
somewhere around 7:30 to bus into Monaco for our free day.
