adventures around Cannes

Amusing Differences
Here are some interesting things about France that simultaneously drive me crazy and make me laugh: *Decimals and commas--they mean the opposite of each other here, so at the fromagerie that piece of cheese costs 2,50. *The way they count on their ...

Day 2 - Nimes to Cannes via Mt Ventoux
... Lunch in Carpantras (Steak and Chip buttie for 4Euro!) and then on to Cannes. More tolls and busy motorways (toll booths in a RHD car with no passenger require some serious agility). The hotel in Cannes is a low key affair, and very easy to miss... ...

Shaken 'n' Stirred.
