A Very Nice Trip

A couple weeks ago I went with a few coworkers to Nice to visit our former manager, George. Jean-luc, Haissem, Torsten and I arrived on Saturday in Nice to the 30+ degree weather (86+ Fahrenheit), palm trees and beach. The weather remained perfect the entire weekend and was a welcome change the pitiful climate that England has to offer.

On Saturday, we arrived to Nice in the afternoon, picked up our rental cars and went straight to the beach. We had some lunch and then picked up Torsten from the airport. For dinner, we went to George's girlfriend Christell's flat between Nice and Cannes. As Christell is French Italian, she prepared a great Italian dinner. After dinner, we went up into the hills to another coworker's villa for a party.

Sunday was more relaxed as we rolled out of bed around noon, hit the pool and were finally ready for lunch around 2:00. We did some chilling along the beach and then decided to go to Cannes for the night. We went into the hills of the old town of Cannes for dinner on the street. The atmosphere there was probably the one of the best dinning experiences I have had to date. After dinner, we went to Bar 4 U which was a nice trendy little bar with girls dancing on the bar and everything.

Monday we again hung out on the beach for most of the day. Jean-luc and I went on a mission to take some pictures while Haissem and Leila got tan. On this night we decided to go to Monaco for dinner. Monaco is home to a well known formula one track and a whole lot of money. Parking our car, we were lucky enough to see a Mercedes SLR, a few Bentleys, a few Ferraris, and an Audi prototype. Though Monaco itself is quite beautiful, the boats in its bay had to be the most impressive. The boats were as large as apartment buildings and looked nicer than any home I've ever been in. We had dinner along the bay and then went to the casino (I couldn't go into the casino because I was wearing sandals).

I've posted a whole sbunch of pictures from the weekend, but none from Monaco as we all forgot our cameras. I must give some credit to Haissem and Torsten as I stole some of their pictures for my site as well. Also, check out a little video look of the beach.
