Barcelona, Montpellier (*France) and Cassis (France)


Now to Montpellier, where we rented a car and picked up Bren from the airport.



our awesome hostel in Cassis, the small village in France




In Cassis, yesterday, we decided to go out on a boat for an hour before we moved onto get our car back to NIce. here are pictures from that. The sea was rough and i felt so sick haha but it got better. We visited the Calaques, or something like that, which are these tiny rock inlets in the coast where people hang out in the summer. It gets very warm and there are tons of fish and swimmers. Apparently, in the last Calaque we visited, people rock climb all along the cliffs.
Will write in more detail when i have time, but here are some pictures. xo



After Cassis, we drove to Nice. WE had a fun ride.. besides the windy windy mountain roads, wholy man. Unfortunately, we got our car in an hour late and they charged us a full day extra ... they did this without telling Karoll, they told her after she signed off... and so I said "ok well then we will have the car back tomorrow at 4, see you guys later" and he said nooo sorry you would have had to call in advance. I got this crazy , unexpected urge to grab the keys and steal the car for another 24 hours..... but decided against it. We got ripped off and really angry. So we loitered at the airport for an hour or two disrupting the quiet, and then caught a bus into Nice. Here we are at the greatest hostel ever (free internet, free breakfast, bar, common area, clean showers, laundry) .. just about to head downtown Nice for the day then we will buy train tickets into Italy tomorrow. Here is one last pic of us on our roadtrip. Been an amazing trip, so wonderful to have Bren here now. We sure miss Joc, big time, but we just tell Karoll all our ridiculous stories about her hehehe. Also, sister Katie (not to be confused with Katie Prentice), Karoll reminds us of you.... so we kind of have you here as well. XOXO

will post again and write about Cassis and Barcelona more.

dont even ask me how Brenna scored the front seat, haha
