Hello everyone!
We are very sorry not to have written before about our days in Paris and Barcelona, unfortunately we didn' have a lot of time because the timetable of the trip was very very hard ;) But now let's catch up!
The last days in Paris the morning we all went to visit the city a bit more, more in detail we went to the Moulin Rouge, to Montmartre and to the Sacre Coeur!! Such a nice sunny day in a wonderful part of Paris!
We ate some sandwiches sitting in the sun on te stairs of the Sacre-Coeur listenning to a guy singing and to another guy playing with a ball...he was amazing!
After we went to Notre Dame and to the "Quartier Latin", passying by the University "La Sorbonne" in Paris...unfortunately they didn't let us visit the buildings! Just students can get in.
We also visited the Pantheon and walked until we found a really nice french style café where we had a hot drink all together and where we said good bye to Jeronimo who was in Paris before I arrived to join the group to go to Spain.
At 19h we finally got to the hostel to check out and go to the train station, we were a bit late and so it was a bit stressing!! ;) ..but the worst had to come! Once at the train station we found out a very bad truth...the train was cancelled due to strike!!! :S After asking for what we could do to get in Barcelona they told us that the only possiblity other than renting a car (800euros for one day..) was to catch a train on the day after at 7am without knowing at what time arriving in Barça! After considering all the options we decided to stay in Paris and take the train at 7am of the day after!
Fortuately they proposed us to sleep in the train in the train station!! It was actually fun and strange! We were all in the train without moving...lol. We bought some pizza + 8 bottles of wine and the night passed :D
The day after they woke us up at 6 and we went to take the train.
The trip was quite long , 5 hours from Paris to Perpignan (changing train in Montpellier ). Once arrived in Perpignan they told us to take a bus to a village that is in the very south of France. We ate in a brasserie in Perpignan and took the bus after two hours. The trip was very nice, there was sun and the weather was amazing! :) even if we were really tired!
Once arrived in the small village all the people on the bus had to take a taxi until the first spanish village! Really close..4km..it took 2 hours because there were to taxi for all of us...!!!We finally got to Portbou in Spain and from there we took the last train until Barcelona, it took 2hours and a half. We arrived in Barcelona at 21h30 in the night..we should have arrived at 7 in the morning of that day! Not bad...more than 12 hours late after a really tiring but fun trip :)
