Eurail=Eurpieceofshit

Biggest rip off of the trip is our Eurail pass. We finally used them to catch a train from Barcelona to Montpellier (to connect to Paris) and the ticket collector on the train said we had to pay for the distance between Barcelona and France since ours are Italy-France. EVEN THOUGH THE PEOPLE WE BOUGHT IT FROM SAID WE COULD USE IT FOR TRAINS BETWEEN SPAIN AND FRANCE. Thats the whole reason we didnt buy the third country.

Luckily he didnt have time to get back to us before the crew switched at the Border. Woot woot! Free ride.

Then the next train to Paris that our passes were valid for wasn't for another two hours which threw off our plans to be in London by the evening completely. There was still a possibility of making the last Eurostar to London, but our Eurail only get us a discount and they didn't have any more of those tickets until Saturday. So we ended up in Gare du Nord train station with nowhere to stay. We called everyone we knew who might have internet access and eventually my cousin Danielle helped us out by finding phone numbers for a few places.

After wasting about two hours and spending all of our change on payphones we FINALLY reached a place that had beds available for a reasonable price.

This place is awesome. In fact, if I stay in Paris again, I'm staying here. Its really lively, people are friendly, and its super clean and comfy. Definitely we lucked out.

Hopefully this positive trend continues as we complete our European adventure.

Tomorrow: Bath, Stratford (?), Stonehenge (?), and some London nightlife.

Bon nuit!
