A nice afternoon in Nice

I have quite a few trips ahead of me, so we decided to head into Nice to enjoy the sun for a bit. It’s been a while since we’ve met up with Aki and Henna, so we agreed to meet up with them for lunch at Place Garibaldi. Due to the unsuitable train schedule (or normal mode of transport when heading into Nice), we jumped on the bus instead, which took us into Nice unexpectedly quickly.

We met up at a nice out-doors eatery on Place Garibaldi, with a table in the sun. We were once again reminded of how lucky we are to live where we live – having delicious pizza and salad, sitting outdoors in a tee-shirt at the end of November. Good to catch up with Aki and Henna as well – Aki was just on his way to play at a concert at Acropolis.

Naim joined us later for a coffee and ice cream, and a walk around Nice. We ended up visiting the museum of photography as well (a nice little museum, which is free to boot), where we checked out a nice exhibition of “abstract photography”. Modern art is not always my cup of tea, but this exhibition was pretty cool.

All in all, a pretty nice way of spending a warm late-autumn afternoon, then!
