Big waves and a rugby final

Having tidied up after the party last night, we decided to head to Nice in the afternoon to see a film and then the high-light of a brilliant and dramatic Rugby world cup - the final between England and South Africa. It was a very windy day indeed, with absolutely huge waves! Never seen big waves like that on the Med... After watching the spectacle on the beach for a while, we went to see the film in Rialto, called "This is England", a very good English (obviously!) kitchen-sink drama - actually managed to make (at least some) skinheads seem sympathetic. And I loved the Yorkshire accents :-)


After a bit of shopping, we met up with Sami, Mikko and Marianne for a nice dinner in an Italian restaurant in Cours Saleya (with very generous portions!). After the meal, we tried to find a pub where we could watch the rugby - in vain of course. So we ended up watching it at Mikko's. It was a good game, even if there were no tries. Not unsurprisingly, South Africa came away with a win (the final score was 15-6 to the Springbooks, after some excellent kicking from Montgomery). No miracles from Jonny this time around...
