A beautiful big yacht in the harbour, they were loading a little colour matched smart car in the back when we passed - unfortunately I forgot the name of it.
Wednesday May 6 2009 - I looked out my cabin window this morning and, in my best William Shatner voice, shouted ‘Cannes‘, well some people may get the connection. Here we are on the French Riviera, home to movie stars, motor yachts, paparazzi and ‘2 euro‘ stores, yes we found Europe’s answer to the dollar store, strange in this city known for its’ opulence.
Pedestrian shopping street
The ship was anchored in the bay and around 10.00am we took the tender ashore, only the third time we were tendered in to the dock in the entire world cruise. After walking through the main pedestrian shopping thoroughfare, we sat down for an espresso and a cappuccino then doubled back and walked along the sea front, a pleasant walk, but we were ready to return to the ship.

Boulevard de Croisante, along the ocean front
After lunch on board, we spent some time packing our suitcases with the junk, I mean souvenirs, accumulated over the last 3½ months, then sat for a while in the afternoon sun before getting ready for dinner.
