Paella oh Paella [Spain Part 2]

Yummy Yummy Spain Cuisine. 

Sangria! Alcohol that makes the Asian girl flush

La Sagrada Familia [Spain Part 1]

Paul Goldberger: 'the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages'.

La Sagrada Familia is always under construction. It is the main attraction in Barcelona. The building itself is inspirational being one of the creations of Gaudi. The interesting part that intrigues me is that why do fruit baskets appear on top of every columns. LOL.

La Ciotat [France Part 7]

The second day when we wanted to get back to Cassis, we ended up in La Ciotat instead. Big sigh. One of the guys working in the train station actually advised us that we can walk from La Ciotat train station to Cassis. Unfortunately, the walking distance is ridiculous. There were pebbles on the train track causing no train on that route and only replacement bus to certain stops. 

We had our first and last experience hitch hiking in La Ciotat. It's a small town whereby people are very nice I believe. A nice Ford car stopped in front of us to bring us down to the city on purpose. This sweet woman has two adorable twin girls at the back of the car. 

We got even luckier on our second time where this couple riding a Mercedes brought us to the bus station. I think they were heading to a meeting and had to make a call to inform they will be late. 

And yarr. This is the charm of being a girl. 

There is nothing much to do here besides the two calanques to visit. We didn't find it amazing. Also, we were hiking with our slippers since our plan was to go to Cassis and chill by the beach.

The Spell of Tranquility [France Part 6]

We went en route to Marseille after severe warning by the girls that we met along the way. Apparently it's not the safest place in France if you catch what I am trying to say. Being extra careful. We arrived at the place that we're going to stay for a night. To save time, we went out right after leaving our bags and took the train to Cassis, highly recommended by friends who had been.

The ice cream was pretty good. Most ice cream parlours at Southern France have around 100 different types of flavours! So exciting! It's a small town whereby people sitting on a hot afternoon enjoying alcohol, ice tea and coffee besides ice cream next to the port. The beach is right next to the port. They have a very laid back life  there.

In Cassis, you get to visit vineyards in which we didn't do as both of us have been to vineyards before and we didn't want to miss the last bus back to the train station.
