We arrived in Cannes this morning and the weather is wet and windy. This stop required a tender to ferry passengers the last half mile to shore and although they are wheelchair accessible, it was fairly obvious the gangway wasn't going to be wide enough for my chair, so before navigating the zig zag platform I returned to to the ship leaving Tracy and boys to go ashore. It may have been a blessing in disguise as within 5 minutes of them landing, the skies opened forcing them to take shelter in a nearby Mcdonalds. My computer wouldn't have appreciated a soaking. It was a little disappointing not to get off the ship again but damaging the computer would be disasterous. I spent the morning on deck 11 where I bumped into an ex co-director from work, so we had a couple of hours catching up.
Tracy and the boys returned in the after by which time the sun was out and it was very pleasant sitting in the sun on the top deck with a view of the Cannes' coastline. The ship set sail at 5pm and as the breeze stiffened we moved to a more sheltered deck. The boys had enjoyed their trip and had seen the Film Festival venue and spent time on the beach.
We went to the early show which was a comedy variety act, which was a bit naff but quite amusing nontheless.

Sorry you didn't get to see Cannes but fancy bumping into someone from work. It's weird how that happens when you are miles away. We bumped into a school teacher at the same hotel as us in Lanzarote. Luckily a nice one! Anyway, glad you had their company. Am enjoying your news. Anna P
Steve, Youre such a prolific blogger at the moment. It makes for compulsive reading. I thoroughly enjoy hearing about the cruise and as always I admire you probably more than anyone I have ever met.
