Making ourselves acquainted

Back in the hotel room. We've spent the afternoon wandering around. We've seen some pretty swanky places to eat, some nice cars and even nicer boats. I'm sure that's a vulgar word to use when describing such sublime vessels. We've walked up to the festval hall, overheard some judges, seen the red carpet (and taken a few touristy shots) and then seen the Cannes Lion chauffeurs leave with precious cargo. Tinted windows prevented us from being able to work out who they were. In our minds it was Sir John Hegarty followed swiftly by DeBono and then Friendly Fires bringing up the rear. The sun is still shinning here. I think later we go work on our Gutter-bar-ometer. Make the most of the head start.


So far today

Forgot to charge the mac.
Forgot ipod lead.
Insulted French taxi drivers with my mixed up version of French numbers ^_^ ooops.
Turned up at a hotel where we aren't supposed to be till tomorrow.


But the sun's started to shine and this is the view from our room.


And this, the view of our room.
And now that we're here and have a the rest of the day to go for a walk and have an explore.

And they're off

Well we're on our way. In a few hours Casey and I will be hitting Cannes. Where do we start? An evening to explore and find our feet then competition time come Saturday/ Sunday. You'll have to excuse the lo-fi post. I'm having to rely on the iPhone as I forgot to charge the mac prior to leaving. Of all the things! At least everything else is in order.
