Today's diary by Dan:

The girls next door were coughing constantly during the night. We had breakfast, and the same girls asked for hot water. We went to the Palais des Papes and took a reverse tour. Everyone complained about the so-called exhibition. We set of the alarm by walking pass the line in the "blue room." Bern had crêpes for lunch. Harris and Dan had paninis. Then we shopped for conditioner, water, etc. in the supermarket. Next, we went back to the train station and took the TGV train to Paris. Harris booked the hotel in the wrong place (80 km from Paris instead of in Versailles). We went up and down the stairs to find our way to Versailles and finally decided to spend the night in Paris. The bus driver (#29) didn't know how to get to our hostel, and we had to take taxi, which charged us 25 francs for luggage. The hostel was pretty nice. We went out for dinner in a pizzeria / Tex-Mex right after checki-in. Check email --> sleep.
