Mikko's and Marianne's housewarming party

After we got back from our skip trip in Greolieres, it was time to prepare for Mikko’s and Marianne’s housewarming party. So we quickly took our showers and got ready, and headed to Hauts de Vaugrenier, where we were supposed to pick up Pete. It turned out to take more than 7 minutes (which was what Mappy estimated the drive to take) – more like 1 hour. Let’s just say we took a wrong turn more than once. Well, we did eventually find it, and eventually also found our way to Mikko’s and Marianne’s place (I think we only took one wrong turn this time).

I have to say M & M have picked a pretty good location to live – they’re located right next-doors to Marianne’s parents (who own a swimming pool ;-), and have some great views over Nice and the sea. The party was great. Among the guests were the usual Finnish suspects, as well as friends of Marianne. Great food (I especially liked the chocklatty treat in a glass- dunno what it’s called), great beer (although in spite of all the pouring techniques I tried I always ended up with more foam than beer in my glass?) and of course great company. Mikko also showed us his music room and DVD collection – cool :-)




So now we are waiting for the sauna to be built so we can have a sauna-warming party (get the "subtle" play on words ? ;-)
