Next morning we woke up pretty early due to the calm evening we had the day before, the nightlife from both Paris and Barcelona had been a bit more tiresome. I ran down to put some coins in the parking meter and was surprised of the hourly fee; it was as expensive as in Paris. Besides being expensi…

My second stop in France on this trip is Lyon. For couple of days my friend and I discuss about this trip, either we go to Lyon or Avignon. Due to the unpredictable weather, we decided it to be Lyon.

So after Paris, I decided to go to Nice but ended up in Lyon instead. When I got to the train station there weren't any tickets left for Nice, so I figured I might as well go to Lyon first. It was good because the train ride was shorter, too. When I first got to Lyon, I honestly wasn't that i…

Final destination of my hitchhiking trip in November/December '08 and also my very first time in France! Totally fell in love with the country i must say :-)) I'm fond of French gothic architecture!!!!!

After a boring drive to Lyon we were finally here!  Rach and I went out with Julia and Lindsay to a little French restaurant where we couldn't read the menu.  We ended up having escargot, salmon and some other random French foods.  The snails actually weren't that bad!  We went …
