So... I've been slacking on my blog writing.... But there's just no time for it when I'm havg so much fun!! So.. Bear with me as I try to remember all that has happened since France! The train ride from Nice to Genova was quite a nice one! All along the coast, and sat with a lovely older Australian couple who told me all about Cinque Terre, and how much I was going to love it. It was nice, because this was my first train where I was not getting off at the end de...

There were windows that you could look down to see the old roman structures underneath some buildings, and there was even an apartment block with r...

I know my title is cheesy, but it's true! Paris really is a city you can just fall in love with! It's got some ups and downs, but it's beauty and wonderful crepes, croissants and pain au chocolate make up for the occasional smelly metro station. My journey started out with a very early morning start. I got a cheap 5:30 am train ticket, which meant an even earlier start.
