Lunch buffet & sightseeing in Nice
For Sunday, we had planned to stay in Nice, meeting up with Flore, Christian and Florian for lunch (who were passing by Nice on their way back to Paris after a holiday in Corsica). We had originally planned on going to a restaurant, but made the snap decision to organize a bit of a buffet at our flat instead. So with a flurry of intensive shopping and preparation, we managed to come up with lunch for 15 people! We also had another go at Haunted House (I had to mention that since I won ;-).
After the eating and gaming, we headed out to explore town a bit - taking in the newly opened Place Massena, the Promenade des Anglais as well as the old town. After this we said our goodbyes to Flore, Christian and Lilian, who had to push on to Paris (what can I say, it was short but sweet).
The ones of us who were foolish enough to brave the heat, climbed up to Colline du Chateau. Our heroic efforts were rewarded with some nice views over Nice (as well as some high class entertainment in the form of Nick nearly taking a dip in the pool by the artificial waterfalls, and Sinhung displaying some Thespian skills at an outdoor theatre stage).
