Day 8 — Cannes

Written by Wendy from the road · photographs by Tatiana

We arrived at Cannes, France in the morning. This time we had to take a ferry from the ship to the beach since there was no dock. The ferry trip alone was so much fun.

We hopped off the ferry and walked to Le Welcome for breakfast which consisted of a croissant, juice and an americano. It was the best coffee I've had so far.

We were enjoying walking the boardwalk when we stumbled across the cutest pastry shop called Boulangerie Pâtisserie Le St Antoine so we grabbed ourselves a St Antoine which was like a type of chocolate mousse cake that was out of this world. Now I see why France is known for their pastries.

We walked around this beautiful beach town but it was incredibly hot and since there weren't many tall buildings to provide shade we eventually found a place to cool off and grab lunch. My husband was craving a burger so we found this really cool place called Smash Club and it was pretty good.

After our meal we walked a bit more and grabbed our ferry back to the ship. We took a little nap and later went to the pool and had a drink. Later that night we had dinner, walked around and headed to the room. The heat had really worn us out so we wanted to make sure we were well rested for the next day.
