A few days with Nick

We had an extra passanger on our way back to Cagnes-sur-Mer after Flore and Christian’s super house-warming party; Nick. Nick;, who is the only Welsh-Irish-English person I know, had decided to take a few days off to discover the Cote d’Azur.

On Monday, back in the office, I got a surprise call from our old friend Sami (who used to live in Nice but now resides in Oulu). Seems that he had decided to drive back to Nice together with Pete, who was coming back after a few weeks’ holiday in Finland?? Well, whatever the reason; after a dinner at our place we decided to meet up with Pete and Sami at the Villeneuve-Loubet Marina for a couple of beers. Good to catch up with Sami again, although we did meet up quite recently during our trip to Finland.

Unfortuantely we weren’t able to show Nick around during the few days he was here, since we were both working. But he did entertain us with stories of his adventures at dinner-time. I especially liked the episode where somebody tried to sell him a train ticket to Nice for 50 euros! But no ripping of a well-travelled chap like Nick with such cheap tricks!

He seemed to have had a nice few days, even though he brought the English weather with him. And he did manage to tick off quite a few museums we’ve not been to yet, as well…
