The Circuit

Hi Mike,

I don’t know if this makes my story anymore interesting and it may be hard to believe but I couldn’t get accommodation anywhere in Cannes and I thought that the trains/buses etc stopped running from Cannes to Nice or the surrounding areas at around 7pm (misinformation).

So I booked a hire car at Nice airport and drove to Cannes and I had reserved a parking space for the duration at the ‘Parc du Palais’ (underground car park beside the Palais du Festival). I had to sleep in the car for the entire trip. I arrived Friday 16th and left Monday 19th. 5 star living it was not.

The other problem was that I had thought I had found myself a good secluded spot in the car park but unfortunately it must have been too secluded because each morning I woke to a fresh puddle of urine beside the wall next to the car. “I (do not) love the smell of napalm urine in the morning!!”

You can see in the attached photos the box I made to carry the posters, which was extremely heavy.

I just wish I could again thank the chap who told me to jump the barrier (he is the one holding the box in the Spielberg photo) and to Kathleen Kennedy (who looked beautiful) and of course to Mr. Steven Spielberg.
