It's pretty Nice, eh? - France

So after my successful adventure in Spain and Portugal, it was time I headed to Nice, France! Now because this is in the south of France, a particular Ingrid Michaelson song came into mind because of the lyrics: let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France.... Anyways, Nat and I spent a good 4 nights in Nice and there we met a bunch of new friends, from Canada, America and even Australia. The first couple of days the weather wasn't the best but we managed to do what we can, exploring old Nice and even taking a trip to Monaco with our new Canadian friends. But soon my Nice vacation- no pun intended, had drawn to an end I was on the road again; this time to Italy!

Viva Espana! - Spain

So I figured out that I can type out my blogs through the local computers in my hostel and I can just reedit the post on my phone and from there I can upload photos!

So there you go, a quick picture update of my time here in Spain, I must say it was great being able to practice my Spanish and finding me everywhere in the signs.  Whats weird is that when I upload the photos the order of when I take the photos are completely out of sync.  Oh well.

London/ Lisboa

So I know have been procrastinating updating this blog and just because I have no connection to the Internet via computer I figured it would be a good excuse not too, but I've taken lots of photos on my phone (where I'm currently blogging from) so really I have no excuse. Anyways, heres a quick update of what I've done so far.
After leaving Shannon in Manchester, Nat and I made our way to London
where we stayed for a couple of nights. I saw so many things in London that I instantly loved but the best things were probably the musicals I watched; Mamma Mia and Phantom of the Opera. We also managed to meet up with Wallis while we were there but soon after we had to fly to Lisboa (Lisbon). We met up with Claudia there for a day and after a couple more nights decided to head to Spain.
(disclaimer: all these photos were taken from my iPhone, I've taken a lot more, better pictures through my 2 other cameras)
