Another day, another hot spot. We went to Antibes and Cannes today. Antibes quite different from what I expected. I thought it was a small, quiet village and it is quite a busy town. Cap D'Antibes however, is small and so very posh. In fact, you don't see much of it as it is all hidden behind massive gates and garden walls. Amazing mansions and very little beach really.
Antibes old town was very pretty and prices pretty good. The market was lovely and very colourful. The best I have seen so far. Beaches again very limited, but this is true of most of this coast, which is quite rocky.
Cannes was another world. The town is really big and busy. It reminded me a lot of Rio with the traffic,the people, etc. All very posh and quite pretentious too. It has a couple of long beaches but they were heaving. Posh shops galore too. We only stopped for a couple of hours, but won't be going back. I prefer St. Tropez and Antibes.
Weather still boiling. It will be a quiet day on the beach tomorrow. The heat takes a lot out of you when you are wondering round towns.
Ah, bought the most expensive figs ever in Antibes market. 4 figs for 5 euros 20.... Couldn't believe it. Cest la vie. Won't be doing that in a hurry again.
