Not just for the rich

The sense of luxury is not diminished by the enormous luxury yachts crowded together in the harbour - almost all with 'Georgetown' emblazoned on them and the Cayman Islands flag flying in the wind. Why you'd want to boast about being a tax dodger when you're so rich is beyond us...?

Is Cannes only for the rich? No, we think Cannes is a nice town with a charming old neighbourhood, where you can also find shops and restaurants with price levels for ordinary mortals. For our part, we had mussels and French fries for 10 euros/person for lunch. Not bad at all!

Lyxyachterna är många och helt enorma, de flesta med flagga från Caymanöarna
The luxury yachts are numerous and absolutely huge, most of them flagged from the Cayman Islands.
Längs strandboulevarden ligger den ena lyxiga restaurangen efter den andra
Along the beach boulevard, there is one luxurious restaurant after another.
Det finns också många enklare, men mysiga restauranger. Vi fick musslor med pommes frites för 10 euro/person
Fortunately, there are also simple cosy restaurants for ordinary mortals.
Gamla stan är för övrigt grymt charmig med trånga gränder och mysiga restauranger
By the way, the old town is very charming with narrow alleys and lots of cosy restaurants.

Being a celebrity photographer at the Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is the world's most prestigious film festival, held in May in Cannes almost every year since 1946. A host of awards are presented, including the coveted Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize. Ingrid Bergman, who would have been 100 years old in August this year, is this year's 'poster girl' for the documentary 'I am Ingrid'. This means that we Swedes can feel a little proud, even if Sweden is not otherwise represented.

You can't miss the Cannes Film Festival when you're here! There are posters of Ingrid Bergman on every street corner, shops are displaying mannequins with film reels around their necks and there are barriers, police, limousines and people in fabulous creations everywhere. Did we see any celebrities? Yes, of course, we crowded around to get a picture! What not to do for the blog?

Om man ska få bra bilder ska man helst ha med sig en stege - det "glömde" vi...
If you want to get good pictures, you should preferably have a ladder with you - we "forgot" that...
Men titta! Vi fixade ändå en bild på Gérard Depardieu åt er!
But look! We still managed to get a picture of Gérard Depardieu for you!
