So it had to be beautfiul & sunny out the day we spend the whole day on the train :S We all got up early this morning. Geo & I packed up first thing so we could get to the train station & Sue & Jesus very generously woke up early to drive us to the station & see us off. I have to say they were excellent hosts (& I'm not just saying that b/c the two of you check our sites ;) ). It was soooo nice to have a homey place to stay for a while. Sue even sent us off to the train w/ a bag full of food. We stopped over in Montpellier for 2 hours ... there was this cute park across from the station so we hung out there & ate some food. Realized that just about everybody on the train to Nice was a backpacker ... which started to get us a it worried seeing as so far we have not made any reservations for our hostels ahead of time :S The 1st hostel we checked out upon arriving in Nice had a couple of spaces left but it didn't seem that great. So we went by 2 more hostels that were full before coming across the one we're staying at now where we got 2 beds in a 6 bed dorm room. Actually, it's called a hotel, not a hostel. But it's pretty much a hostel considering it has dorm rooms and all. Met the girls in our room w/ us: 2 Arentinian girls, a Dutch girl, and a Brazilian girl. Spent an easy nite in. Amazing how tired you can be just from sitting on a train all day!
