We left Cass's cousins and sisters to head back to Rome and we caught a train over the Italian border into France where we stopped in Nice for the night. From here we back-tracked slightly and spent a night in Monaco with a couchsurfer and looked incredibly out-of-place with our backpacks, surrounded by mega-yachts with helicopters on their decks and Ferraris and Porsches. It was interesting to couchsurf in one of the richest countries, which spans just 2.2 square kilometres and has 30 000 occupants! We boarded another train and met up with another couchsurfer, Nikolai, who hosted us in Marseille for 2 nights. He took us exploring and we had a great time. A definite highlight of the place was the hike through the national park, but like most places we have seen so far, it would be better in warmer weather.

This was at the end of our walk in Parc National des Calanques (France's newest national park) ... it was well worth the walk.

Cameron wanted to get his feet in the Mediterranean, though it was a little frosty.
Happy hiker.
