European Escapade Day 6 – Barcelona
Barcelona is such an interesting city! It’s definitely got that fun summer Spanish vibe to it, but is also totally unique compared to any other city I’ve been to. There’s so many buildings with really unusual architectural designs…
European Escapade Day 5 – Beaujolais to Barcelona
So bus day posts aren’t going to be the most exciting. Today was our longest drive, down to Spain, with a couple of service stops, so nothing too exciting to mention there. We did have a really great…
European Escapade Day 4 – Beaujolais
The chateau we’re staying at is out in the French countryside, so it’s very different to city life. There’s no sights to see, so today was for relaxing a bit more. We were provided with…
