Convergence

There is nothing like a winter break. To get away from under the grey sky and the icy wind and down south to top up on vitamin D from the sun. So when my wife suggested 5 days in Nice, I was all in.

 

Now we are back again. And we have guests staying with us for a couple of days. Old friends from when we were living in Germany. Of course we had to tell of our trip to Nice.

 

My wife was enthusiastic. There were so many amazing shops and department stores in Nice. They had all the brands you could think of, and the people attending to you were very nice and friendly. There were so many things on offer that we had to buy an extra suitcase to get all our new acquisitions home. And the hotel was nice and clean and the service good.

And good Italian restaurants. At least as good as in Copenhagen and Stockholm.  All in all a very successful trip.

 

I looked at Dieter. "Have you been away this winter?", I asked. "We have been to Helsinki for a weekend", he answered. "And?", I wanted to know. "It's exactly like Nice" he said, "just without the Mediterranean sea and the palm trees".
