Sospel and Mont Agaisen

Time to show Jocke some of a typical local mountain village. So we took the car and drove down to Sospel, just about 30 kilometres from Nice (which because of the winding roads took as more than an hour to drive...).






From there, we decided to do a walk around Mont Agaisen, since the weather was so Nice - to start with anyway. Because after we had scaled the heights of the hill (at 751 meters), it started pouring down - and I mean really p***ing it down. (of course we had left hour rain coats in the car, because the weather is always good in this part of the world, right? Wrong...). And we had some thunder to add to the excitement as well.



We made it back to Sospel eventually, to the safety of the local bar, where we warmed up for a while, waiting for the rain to quiet down - which it didn't. So we drove straight to Nice without having a look around the town - the journey was pretty exciting as well what with all the water and rocks on the road. But we survived :-)



In the evening we met up with the clan Turtiainen (including my brother Janne and Katja, who were visiting) in Brasserie Flo for a nice evening meal.
