Last week of April, we had a week off, so Kathi (Austrian) and I went to Toulouse, Montpellier, Marseille, Cannes, Grasse, Nice, and Monaco.
The weather was amazing except for one kind of rainy afternoon, which we used to watch a movie. We went to Bievenue Chez les Ch'tis, a movie in French. It was a little hard to understand, but French people say they have trouble too, since the Northern accent in the movie is so strong.
We couchsurfed again and it went really well. All the people were really nice and most of them cooked us dinner, so we saved a lot of money on food! Every day except for one, we went to the market in the morning and got fruit and a baguette for a picnic, which was always delicious! The one day in Marseille we splurged and got a 19 euro (yikes!) lunch along the harbor. It was bouillabaisse, a fish soup from Marseille...it came with apperatifs and a sea food salad...definitely worth the 19 euros!!
Southern France is really pretty - and warm! We spent at least 2 hours everyday on the beach - it was a very relaxing vacation! When we
Montpellier
Place de la Comdiewent to Monaco, we also went to the Monte Carlo Casino, where I lost 5 euros at the slots. We wanted to go into the card room, but it was 10 euros just to get in! We also found a nice lounge/bar and got monacos for only 3.50 euros...and we sat among the rich people 😊
