Day 45 - Cannes

Today our couch surfing host kindly offered to take us to Cannes, which is about a 45 minute drive from Nice. On the way there we stopped by a few old medieval towns located in the heart of the French countryside. Both towns were both too cute for words and located on top of mountains, providing us with some breathtaking views. Eventually when we got to Cannes the first thing we noticed was the insane amount of expensive cars; BMWs, Lamborghinis, audis, ferraris, Mercedes, etc. I've never seen so many nice cars in such a short time period. We walked around the main shopping strip which consisted of all the designer brands such as Armani, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci. We eventually headed to a more affordable area where we felt more comfortable entering the stores. For dinner we had McDonald's, since its all we could afford, lol. Then finally we went to the beach for a bit which was more enjoyable than in Nice because it was sandy. The only downfall was that most of the beaches are private, so the one beach where you didn't have to pay, where we went, was very overcrowded. You could smell the money off of people here, not sure I fancied it very much. Later that night after we got back to Nice, we had some drinks at our place in celebration of my birthday! It was just us, our host, and the Latin dancer who drove us from Paris. Later on we went out to a few fun places to dance and we all had a great time :) !
