Today, 1st of August,
I went by local bus to Cannes town, about 5 km from here. I left at 10.30 am.
I stopped at a market near the town, and after I hqad been to the market I went to the beach, which was a man made rocks narrow beach but very clear and clean water, and very inviting. I had taken a towel and something for swimming, so I put my stuff under some rocks and had a hal;f an hour swim, and ohhh what bliss. It was such a hot day today, at least 33 C. I was sweating constantly. I had water with me.
After that wonderful half an hour of floating with the waves and a lovely swim( water is 23 C) I walked to the main centre and the Marina with the super yachts. Also saw the Film festival building .
After that were more beaches, more sandy beaches, more crowds. Not for me.
Then walked along the boulevard towards Carlton Hotel, where Geke has worked as a physio therapists for guests in 1993.
I had something to eat from little foodstalls near the beach and a cola and then walked through the narrow shopping street that runs paralell with the Boulevard .
Back to the bus stop at 2.30 and home( hotel) again as it was just too hot.
Once " home" Ronald came to pick me up and I spent the rest of the day in their swimming pool.
I hope you enjoy these pictures.
think they came out OK. Humidity here is very high, no wind, quite hazy. The Mountains are very hard to see in the distance tonight as I write...
