Day 24 ... highlights ... hmmmmmm
... not really much to Blog about today, we were in transit mode for the better part of the day and arrived in Cannes around supper time.
... the beautiful condo we were to occupy had plumbing issues and they had to place us in what is described as an "upgrade" ... not even close!!! Needless to say the property management company Azure Online ended up with five emails from me last night as this truly is not an upgrade ... will be seeking a refund and will muddle through trying to get a hotel if they cannot provide decent accommodations. ... huge disappointment our first evening ... even tried to get out to escape the dreary accommodation
... we had a wonderful walk along the boardwalk [teeming with activity at night] to return to a 45 minute struggle of trying to get the door to the apartment unlocked. Poor Beanie was so upset ... and of course trying to be smart I left my wallet in the apartment, so as not to get robbed, so we couldn't simply go to a hotel we were at fate's mercy.
... in the end I was able to get help from a woman that lived in the building - she was able to somehow get us in the apartment, after struggling with the lock herself for 15 minutes ... she indicated this is not good and very strange and the lock needs to be fixed ... so we are kind of stuck in our dreary abode waiting for the property management company to open at 9:00 a.m. ... ... not a happy camper ...
Today's Photo: a last glimpse from Bateau Simpatico ... it was interesting our last morning on the boat and we awoke to completely still waters ... had to take a picture of the calm ... thought the reflection was wonderful (slight ripples from a boat that interrupted the reflection but I love the way it "unfolds" the mirror image) ...
Cheers - RGR P.S. I am truly thankful fate was a kind sister to us last night and we were able to get into this dreary abode and have a bed to sleep on ... phew!
