My good friend Jocke decided to come over for a visit this weekend, and finally arrived after some eventful voyaging... (a few hours wait in Paris, lost luggage, usual story...).
We started off the day by going wine tasting, to try out some of the local wines. There is actually an AOC (Appellation d'origine contrôlée) in Nice called Bellet (click here for some free advertising :-). It's one of the smallest (if not the smallest) appellations in France (mostly because of the price of land, which as you can imagine is not the cheapest around Nice...). We eventually found a nice little vineyard, and had our authentic French experience (and of course even though the wine tasking was free, we felt obliged to buy 2 bottles for about 30 euros afterwards ;-).
From there we rushed over to Monaco (stopping by in Eze, a nice perched village between Nice and Monaco). After a quick look around town, it was time for the Finnish Wappu celebrations in Stars 'n Bars (a famous sports bars, frequented by such people as Michael Schumacher, Janet Jackson, Jude Law, Britney Spears, just to name a few...) - we were about 15 people altogether. The proceedings were relatively civilised for a Finnish celebrations (although after our "balloon wars", not very adult, one could say...)
