Yes its that time again when the film world goes crazy and has a mad two weeks of frantically selling movies in the beautiful location of Cannes - Cote d'Azur - South of France.
I was lucky enough to be asked by HP to escort one of my customers to the event this year and after having gone last year I was now a professional at the format! It took me about 2 seconds to accept and about 3 seconds to text Phil to tell him we were going.
We set off on Sunday 18th May, flying very early from Luton to Nice where we were escorted in a chauffeur driven limo through the winding streets of Nice to Cannes and pulled up to our fantastic hotel - the Majestic Barriere. This is right opposite the red carpet and our view was amazing.
As luck would have it the premiere that we were going to see was Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull which was amazing. Behind us on the Red Carpet were George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Goldie Hawn, Kelly Brook - Billy Zane to name but a few.
If you look close in the pictures taken inside the theatre you can even spot Lewis Hamilton....yes thats right - just in front of Superman :-)
Harrison Ford and Calista were there too of course......
Oh and us too - a brilliant trip all round :-)
