Montpellier

As I said before I left Genova in order to go to Nice in France. I didn't plan anything and I found out at the train station in Genova that the train goes to Ventimiglia and doesn't cross over the damn border.

So, before i went to Ventimiglia, I had asked the information ticket if there was any night ride bus and they had said to me "no buses". Even though, I got on the train to Ventimiglia where I would certain have waited for 6 hours the first train in the mornig, but for my luck I found out a bus in front of the station going to Nice. It took longer than a train, but it was better than sleep over at the station ground.

On the way to France the french police asked the passport for some guys who didn't even have any ID. As a result, the cops urged to the two guys to get off the bus and they got driven to the police station. So, they even my passport.

Nice is nicer than I expected, there are many cool bar in the old center and also it is close to Cannes and Monaco. I choose to visit Monaco, cause the time is short and there I saw the Formule 1 track, palace and hung around the city. At the same day I travelled to Montpellier that I am keen on. I would have go to Marsellie if I had a spare time and then Montpellier. However it is near Spain and that's why I have dropped by here.

The trip was terrible, cause it missed a session of the train, therefore heaps of people ang bags on the second class session. Many of them came standing up on the train. I got my seat since the beginning, bloody luck!!!

Montpellier is a great city and today I found out that were a one of the cities in the world cup 98. I guess that is the reason the city is tidy up. Now I am going to watch the city team which is the second one on the French national league. I figured out this by the chance today when I got off near the station and I saw some guys buying a ticket for the match.

Tomorrow morning I will have been in Barcelona by 14:00. To be honest, it freaks me out the
