Kyra Over Seas: Beaujolais Chateaux

Beaujolais Chateaux

As a perk of going Contiki, you get to stay in exclusive "stopovers" full of other Contiki-goers. When I heard that we were staying in a chateaux I didn't really know what to expect, and when we pulled up my jaw quite literally dropped.

The building was surrounded by vineyards and farms and small dirt roads with chickens running free and nothing but the sound of birds. We had the most beautiful hike up what felt like a mountain and had a picnic of brie, baguettes, fruit and chips and relaxed all afternoon, and when night came we partied so hard we could barely wake up for the 9am breakfast call. It was two days of complete bliss and even though I'm currently poised in the corner of our adorable hostel in Barcelona, I miss looking out the window and seeing the breathtaking French scenery.

Tomorrow we have an entire day to explore Spain, and although I'm super excited, I'm also slightly exhausted and hoping I can get a good enough nights sleep to keep powering through!
