Planes, Trains and Automobiles

The next day was scheduled to be filled with trains. Our first one leaving Barcelona at 8:45 am, and a few trains later, entering Nice at 12:04 am. A full day of traveling ahead. A really, I mean REALLY creepy guy sat in front of Katie and I (it was the kind of seats where 4 face each other) and I am fully confident that he was taking pictures of us on his phone. He tried to talk to us, but we pretended not to understand even his attempt at English, especially when he asked for our names. The next stop was Montpellier, where we were scheduled to have about a 6 hour layover. We knew there was a train to Marsielle (our next stop) in two hours, so Em and I went to see if we could catch that one instead. We found out that we could get on that train if there was enough room, so we ate really quickly and as soon as the platform was announced, we were there! Our second train couldn't have been much worse. There was no air conditioning, and our car only had one window that slightly opened. All of the seats were in sets of 4, so we sat facing each other with little leg room. At least we weren't with creepy guys again. The last train went well, and we got to the apartment safe and sound. The guy showed us around the entire thing, much of which we could have figured out. He showed us how to turn the TV on, then off, and then on and off again. Also the volume and channels with the + and - buttons ;) He was sweet. Once he left, we went to find food! And get nutella crepes :) YUM YUM
