Milene & Kamel in Nice

A couple of hours after we left Peille Monday this week, Mathilde got a phone call from a friend of hers from Paris, Milene (who in fact also attended the Greek Wedding in Thessaloniki which features on this blog). Seems that Milene was not only on the Cote d'Azur, but actually in Peille (a relative of hers has a flat there so she was staying there with her boyfriend Kamel)! We were having lunch just a couple of blocks from the flat. Life is full of coincidences, eh?



Today they were visiting Nice, so we decided to meet up with them (as well as Winston and Weng, who were still staying with us) for some drinks and dinner (yes, finally some drinks after being the designated driver for the last few nights :-)!!! So we met up at a terrace at the Place du Palais in the old town for an aperitif.




This was followed by a nice and reasonably priced (after Mougins, it was bound to be...) dinner in one of the numerous restaurants in Court Saleya (Court Saleya is a big square just one block away from the sea, in the old town. It's famous for its flower market, and also has a lot of nice, if touristy, restaurants with plenty of outdoors seating).


After the dinner we went back to our place for a few digestifs (the occasion merited bringing out the bottle of 18-year old single malt Talisker) - in fact maybe one too many, as the next day in the office was a bit of a struggle...
