Well...the trip didn't start quite as planned...the train we were supposed to take was not a regional train, which meant that our tickets were not valid for that one...So they told us to wait 20 min for the next regional train....which was half an hour late...you can imagine this was annoying since we were all tired...
An hour later me, Lydia, Daniela, Katharina, Sean, Uwe and Sebastian stepped out of the train in St Raphaël where we were supposed to catch the train to St Tropez...But we found out that the bus takes 2 hours...shit...so we walked down to the harbour to check out the ferries which should only take 45 min or so...but the next ferry was at 2 pm...we had 2 hours to kill in St Raphaël, which btw isn't the most exciting place...we went to eat and people already started to come up with other plans than St Tropez...in the end we all decided to give St Tropez a chance...we went to the beach and soon the ferry was leaving. The sun came out and the weather was perfect. We took a loot of pictures :) I really enjoyed that ferry ride!!!!
Once we came to St Tropez there was a Porche exhibition or something...people came there with their porches to this closed area just to show up their cars. Luxurious or what?????
We started walking to the old town...I must say St Tropez isn't really that special at all...I think you need a yacht to enjoy it :) I think all the cities along the French Riviera (except for Monaco) are all quite the same..They all have the beach and luxurious shops...St Tropez had this hill with a castle...the view from the top was pretty nice....after wards we went for a cup of coffee and then took the bus back to St Raphaël... which btw did not take 2 hours, more like 1,5....so it was pretty bearable... then one hour in the train back to Nice...
We all went home to get ready to party....there was a girls party at the swede's house where we were supposed to go to but once I got there nobody answered their phones so I couldn't get in. So I walked to Daniela's place instead....Once I got there Megan called...well...to late. It was only a pre party since the swede's were going to Monaco and our plan was to go to a party at this French guy Jonathan's place. I dragged Daniea and Katharina with me, and Megan and Lydia came later...I really like the French style of partying...aka Drink as much as you want and you can take everything you see on the tables and in the fridge...so we did...we also took a shot, French style!!!! You put cinnamon on your hand (the same way you put salt when you drink tequila) lick it, drink the vodka and the eat some sugar....actually tastes better than pure vodka :)
I think the party got a little out of hand, since the police came to visit us :) The party ended around 2 am, Lydia went home, but me and Megan felt like partying...so we thought we'd go meet the others in old town. We called Sebastian and told him to meet us outside Wayne's since we didn't now where the bar they were a was....I said it will take us 10 min to walk there, and that I would call ones we are closer...well...one hour later Seb called to check where we were since we hadn't called...at that point we were 5 min from Wayne's...somehow our walk took a little longer than expected...we walked in the wrong direction, found snow and well...we were drunk :)
The bars had already closed ones we got there, so we went to an after party at Karina's place. And there was more alcohol....I think I was home at around 5.30 am...fun night :)
