Spain

Spain has been incredible. The weather has been over 35 degrees every day and its so beautiful. We spent a few days in Barcelona going to the beach which is very nice for a European beach but an experience to say the least. While sunbaking there are numerous people walking around selling samosas, sarongs, sunnies, beer, sangria etc...although its funny to watch them all run when the police come. We visited the parks and saw Gaudis work (which is amazing)...loved the Sangrada Familia. We also saw the magic fountain which is very pretty. I hope to put some pics up soon.

We are now in Seville, which is awesome. We are in a great hostel with a bar, roof terrace and pool...very nice! Last night we went out for tapas and to a flamenco show which was unreal. The food was delicious and the show was full of passion and definately worth seeing. We also took a walking tour around the city today which was great. The history here is so interesting and the city shows that.

Sadly we only have 3 nights left in Spain and then we say goodbye to summer and are off to Belgium to eat waffles, fries and try as many beers as we can...before heading to Holland.

Lisboa, Portugal

Paris

For our last two days in Paris the weather was still rainy, but we did get to go up the Notre Dame which was beautiful, walk the Champs Elysee, visit the Salvador Dali gallery (which was incredible, he is brilliant!) and we got so lucky as on the third night the weather cleared up enough that we were able to climb the Eiffel Tower. We walked the first 2 levels and then took the elevator to the top which was the longest lift ride, but the view was great as you can see out. Once at the top we got an amazing and clear view of the city. I also had a delicious but expensive glass of champers at the top to top the experience off. It was such an awesome night.

We are now in Madrid, Spain and it back to beautiful weather - 30 plus degrees. The city is beautiful and the night life is great! Tomorrow we are off to Lisbon, Portugal for a few nights and then its back to Spain to explore the rest of the country.

Bonjour

We have been in France for a week now, and it is everything like you imagine when it comes to the tourist attractions...but have found the people to be no where near as bad as people say.

We started in Nice and spent both days swimming in the French Riviera, which is gorgeous! We also climbed castel hill which gave us great panoramic views of the city. We also experienced a great french meal, including Escargot...which is delicious! We then took a night train to Bordeaux which was another great city. Very old and had beautiful buildings. We are now in Paris and it's amazing...although the weather is rainy. We have been to the Lourve and the Notre Dame...and have seen the Eiffel Tower and are hoping to go up there tonight...

Au Revoir!
