June 5 2013-Today we were on the bus For the second time.We're taking this bus called Bus About with flexi pass. We choose the route we want to take and than they drop us off and pick us up, just about as simple as it sounds. It's really helpful because not only do we not have to try to map our way to the next destination but they have tour guides on each bus that give u tips like the best places to eat, local phrases, culture, history and anything else that you may need to know. So today we spent the whole day pretty much on a bus but I really don't mind because than you get to see the part of the country where tourist dont usually see and there are quite some treasures there. for instance when we drove through france to switzerland on the first bus we got to see the charming little castles and churches in all the towns and they had these fields and fields of these yellow flowers and they were beautiful. Today we drove through Switzerland, Italy and back to France. One of the stops was Lake Como in Italy, we were only there for about 20 minutes but we were able to get some delicious geleto(yum) and see some of the sites from the bus. They had some flea markets my mom and I both were eyeing but sadly we passed them. We than headed to Nice (pronounced niece) which is very nice... Lol Nice is nice that's a good one :) where we are now. Also know as the French Rivera, it has a much different climate than that of Switzerland. We got here around 7 and headed out for a brief walk to the beach with there so called " pebbles" instead of sand but I what I call " rocks". We walked past some cute little tent stores and by this store that had around 80 geleto favors besides the normal vanilla! chocholate! strawberry ext had flavors like "rose" and " tomato basil" . We than followed a recomendation to the cutest little restraint with a three course French dinner for €15 which was the best thing I've ate here in Europe. Called 21 of September it was delicious and would highly recommend it! Tomorrow were on the bus again this time to Barcalona!
We've meet a lot of Australians on the bus and after spending a couple of days with the. We found that we were starting to say things like them lol. To me it's really funny how we speak the same language but we have different names for things, and it's little things like coach for bus , rubbish bin for trash/ garbage can or biscuit for cookie. There all really nice and friendly. Another thing we all realized when we were in more of the country of France and Italy is that when you go to the bathroom there are No toilet seats! I'm not kidding! I don't know if someone stole them, they broke off and never replaced them but neither less there have been a few stops where they haven't been there. And to be quite honest we all thought they were broken at first until we realized they were all the same.
