Cannes, France.

21 Jun

Our one stop in France was a quick one – the first tender boats were running at 6:30ish, last boat back was 1:30. Our ship anchored away from shore so our tender ride lasted about 10 minutes before docking at the port.

Dave and I wandered around. The main goal: find a patisserie with fancy desserts and French macarons. Success? Kind of.

We wandered into old town, struck once again by the charming rambling streets. We found fancy chocolate croissants and espresso across from a local market.

We, tragically, had little luck finding a place that had rows and rows of macarons. Sigh. Granted, we didn’t have a whole lot of time to explore. We did, however, find a McDonald’s. And guess what? McDonald’s in France have macarons! And you know – they were lovely and full as macarons should be. (McDonald’s also sold poutine-like French fries. We did not try.)

We walked uphill to a cathedral that overlooks the town and port. More charming streets. Endless charming streets. Bakeries with piles of freshly baked bread. Gelato. Cheese! So many delicious things that we would have bought and ate if we stayed longer.

And this is it, folks. We came back to the ship, ate some lunch at the buffet and then came to our room to shower/pack. We’ll go out for dinner tonight, see a show, and then tomorrow by 9am we’ll be off the ship. Another 28ish hours in Barcelona after which we’ll time-travel home. (We are ready. It’s been amazing in lots of ways but we’re ready for routine and dogs and flower garden and lower temperatures and less people all around.)
