Well after a couple more weeks rest in Italy, we set off for the south of France and Spain. We arrived in Nice on Sunday night and slept in a service station as it was too late to book into anywhere. On Monday morning we drove to Cannes where we saw the beginnings of the film festival being set up. The whole city is quite glamorous, with its huge buildings and expensive yachts, you get the impression that it is modelled for the celebrity stay. But it still has a traditional charm with its little market streets and crepes stalls.
After Cannes we went to Nice where we are staying for a couple of nights as we've found a really budget hotel. We walked into town in the evening to grab a bite to eat. The duck and mussels went down a treat, our only downfall was the 8 euro beers! Apart from that, the town is great so far (Chris wants to live here....quote: "It's all the good things about London, minus all the bad things!")
That's all for now. Off to get the benefits of the town in the day.
