Bon Jour from Cannes!!!
We have done so much in the last week...
We flew from Malaga into Nice last Friday to meet up with Rach's Dad and crew! Our last night in Spain proved to be very authentic. After a day at the beach we stumbled across the locals getting ready for that evening's bull fight parade. They were overwhelming friendly and invited us to the bull fight... we had to check it out! Check out the pics... the bull fight was quite an experience... Steph cried because the poor bulls have NO chance of surviving and are completely ganged up on.
After the fight we had dinner at the local spot we were invited back to from the night before. The food and people were so great and they sat us in a prime seat for the infamous pizza tossing show. They played club music and danced as they twirled and tossed pizza dough; sounds corny, but was pretty cool.
The next morning came very early because we managed to have a little fun the night before :) Most of our day was spent traveling... to be able to afford to fly to Nice we had to deal with a long lay over in Brussels. Surprisingly it went by pretty fast... the local Belgium beer, chocolates, and good airport shops helped ;)
We made our way to Cannes, met up with Rach's Dad and crew, and headed out to the swankiest dinner spot/club in all of Cannes... Baoli. See pics to find out which star was our dance partner for the evening. We also saw the prince of Monaco (Andréa) who was all of 19, but had a herem of gorgeous women around him at all times... it was quite the experience.
The next morning we got up early (again!) and took a bike tour of Nice and Ville Franche... both were stunningly beautiful... see pics for views of both cities and Steph falling off her bike before the ride even started... love ya Steph ;)
After the bike tour we were picked up in a tender and taken aboard the Cavu... the boat where we would stay and sail the French Rivierra for the next 3 days. All we can say is WOW... we feel really lucky! We relaxed, swung from the rope swing on the boat, chilled with Rach's fam and their friends, and Rach learned to wake board... now that was comedy :) One night we sailed to Monaco and had another amazing night club experience at the famous Jimmy Z's! We danced until dawn....what a night!!
We are back in Cannes now. Unfortunately the weather has taken a turn for the worst...crazy thunder and lightening storms, but we are keeping plenty busy and, of course, are still having fun. Yesterday we had an awesome French lunch at a little outdoor cafe and then shopped most of the afternoon. Today we are catching up on emails and the blog, researching where we want to venture to next, and will soon head out for the evening for dinner and to admire all of the beautiful Frenchies (both the men and women are absolutely gorgeous here...no joke, we've never seen anything like it!)
Aurevoir for now! XOXO -- Rach and Steph
