A busy weekend in Nice

Due to our project to move out to Japan, we are trying to squeeze as much as we can out of our social life. After all, we want to say bye bye to everybody we know here, before heading off. Working in Japan, I'm afraid I shan't be having a lot of holidays to travel back to Europe with, unfortunately...

So on Friday night, we were more than happy to join Chris, Aurore and Marie for a dinner at Chris and Aurore's place. More than happy, since we always have a blast with them, and we know the food will be excellent and plentiful! As it was, this time around as well. We had a raclette, one of my favourite dishes in France. Raclette is a dish from the Alps, basically involving potatoes, ham and melted cheese - how could one possibly go wrong with ingredients like that, eh? This was followed up by equally excellent deserts prepared by Mathilde and Aurore. Yummie!

On Saturday, we managed to catch Naim, who was visiting Nice. We agreed on a lunch at Safari, a nice restaurant with a terrace on Cours Salyea. It's a place we go to very rarely, and even if it is a very touristy place, the food is very good. Probably the best restaurant on uber-touristy Cours Saleya. And since we were blessed with some of that lovely winter sun that often hits Nice this time of the year, that terrace was just a fantastic place to be...

Afterwards, we walked over to Rue Bonaparte, a trendy street by Place Garibaldi, where we met up with Marie and Mathilde's colleague Olivier for some coffee and cakes.

Ah, what a wonderful day! Nice is another place in this part of the world I will miss a lot, I will certainly fondly remember  sunny winter days like this!
