So. Much. Money. From driving around Cannes
it is very clear that some people have far too much money. Bently. Maserati.
BMW. Aston Martin. Lamborghini. Expensive cars were everywhere. And there were
many expensive boats in the water too.
Cannes is great for people watching. There
are a lot of tourists as well as lot of short skirts, see-through dresses and
plastic surgery. There are men you can
tell must have a bit of money because they are fat and balding yet still
walking around with a supermodel on their arm. It was a pretty common
occurrence!
We did the touristy thing and went and
looked at all the celebrity mementos everywhere. We took photos of each other
on the red carpet. Yay!
Our hotel in Cannes was really little, cute
and pimpin’ (if those three words can go together). It was called Hotel
le Romanesque and we had a balcony and a spa bath. This was our room:
For dinner we stayed local to our Hotel and
went to a restaurant just down the road called Tapis
Rouge. It was delicious! We shared some escargots (Sam's first), then some
duck and fish, and then crème brulee and more chocolate fondant. Super
yum. Oh and some wine. Super cheap French
wine.
We went back to the hotel to enjoy the air
con for a bit and thought about going out again… but the heat outside wasn’t
very appealing so we flagged it and did a spot of people watching from our
balcony.
The next day we packed up pretty early (we
thought about going for a swim, but the beach is so crazy full of people, we
decided to wait) and drove around the coast to St Raphael.
I'm pretty sure we drove past Brad & Angelina's place.
We stopped for a swim at Agay (a little
beach just outside of St Raphael) and then headed to the Mercure
in Valescure to check in.
I didn’t really enjoy Cannes all that much.
It was quite expensive and there were a lot of people everywhere. It was still
fun to have gone and seen all the luxury, but I don’t think I’ll be hurrying back.
