Okay so no cheap WI-FI in the room so trying to find a free method. Tried to pick up free WI-FI but it needed a phone number – tried for Stanley with no luck!

Now trying a …local cafe – and it works!!

The night on the train was not a good night’s rest, but a fine way to travel. It’s been a while since Mum shared a room with four men (did she ever?). Did not get a pic but imagine three bunks and three bunks with the space of a bunk between them and you’ve got it. Get in your bunk or get in the way!

Day 1 was good. Nice place – despite what Marcus thought! Nice day with reasonable beach and neither too crowded or too hot. Very pleasant. Mum tired though so sleeping.

Cannes is NOT cheap. Two coffees and toasted cheese with ham (albeit with a French name!) comes to 25 pounds. However a trip to the SPAR gets a bottle of wine, two litres of water, 6 small with gas waters, a packet of cashews (my holiday treat), 3 litres of fruit juices, a bottle of grape juice and two bananas comes to 20 pounds.
