Cannes / Antibes

Sat arvo (5 May) - we arrived in Cannes and the weather was nice and sunny. We said goodbye to Sara who had to return to Paris.

Private beach belonging to one of the exclusive hotels along the Promenade.

Outside the Carlton hotel (unfortunately it wasn't our hotel, we were just hoping to catch a glimpse of Brad Pitt?!)
No access to a private beach but plenty of public benches.

Private beach owned by the Carlton.
At the Cannes Auditorium where the annual Cannes Film Festival is held. It was a shame we missed the Festival by a week - a shot of Val and Max winning water bottle awards, hey where is mine?!
With the leading man!

White tarpaulins in the background in preparation for the annual Cannes Film Festival, probably where the celebs hang out.
Shopping strip in Cannes
At the town markets.


Spot the time on the clock tower - 6.10pm! Time for dinner!
Sat night (5 May) - We drove to Antibes, a small town close to Cannes, very pretty at night.

Banners of French poetry hanging along the streets. Max had to translate them for us.

French art & craft markets

The Old Bridge
We were waiting for Garry under the Old Bridge and ended up being stalked by some dodgy guys offering to take pictures for us. Spot them in the picture. I think they would have ran off with our cameras if we had handed over our cameras.

Shopping for a boat?!
