Hôtel Martinez, Cannes, France

Our flight to Nice was cancelled last minute, and we were re-booked on two connections, which meant three planes to travel not a very far distance. C’est la vie. How could we complain though? 3 nights in Cannes was awaiting us, including a spectacular wedding, so as long as we rushed through Oslo and Amsterdam […]

All refundable, which to choose? As […]
