French Riviera - Part 1 (Cannes)

We finally got a much needed holiday on the French Riviera (not the ice cream place). Having flown into Nice in the evening, we quickly dropped off our bags at our bed and breakfast and made haste to Cannes. We had our fingers crossed to catch a glimpse of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but to no avail. Instead we were greeted with all the extravagance of the rich. Walking along the Croisette in Cannes there were numerous multimillion dollar yachts, old men with runway-esque models by their side and too many supercars to note. All this and the film festival's red carpet was absolutely the perfect welcoming party for us to the French Riviera.
