Yesterday we went to Cannes for the day after booking some flights and hostels (I love that our hostel here has a computer room with free internet!). Cannes was crazy because of the Film Festival, but really exciting. We got a tip from someone in our hostel to go to the beaches west of the harbor to get away from the tourists, and it was really nice! They had sand beaches (most are pebble beaches) and it wasnt very crowded there. We only stayed on the beach a bit so we didnt get too much sun, and did a lot of walking around exploring. I wandered into a tent and we ended up getting free tickets to a cinema on the beach - that was def the highlight of the trip. It started right after sunset and we got free (nice) blankets and to sit in really comfy beach chairs. It was actually not a movie that night, but a live quartet playing music inspired by the films at the festival, and they showed clips of the movies while they played. Very cool.
Today we're going to explore the old town of Nice, have a legit french meal, and then go into Monaco for the evening
