After the dark and snowless christmas spent in Finland, we decided that Nice would be a better venue for celebrating new year. Quite a big group turned up for the festivites in the end, including Jani & Katja from Finland, and quite a big bunch of people from Guildford. Not to mention some locals as well...
Although judging from the picture on the left, I'm not sure the party was a gret success ;-)
On new years day, some of the brave (foolish?) ones of us (actually only me and Nick) decided to participate in the "Traditional Nice New Year's Day Swim". (strangely enough, we seemed to be the only ones doing it??).
Taking a swim in january might seem like quite a strange idea, but actually I think it's about the same as taking a swim in Finland in june, so not too
bad really!
The rest of the day we spent exploring the streets of Nice in the glorious sunshine. We also climed up to the Nice Chateau, and were rewarded with some nice views over Nice, as the sun was setting...
