In late August, my good friend Bobby was getting hitched. He lives in London so we decided to make the trip for the wedding and stop over in Nice, France. It was possibly one of our favourite destinations! That was late August, a couple month ago… So why so late in updating the blog? As soon as I got back, I was pretty tired from the trip + usual coming back from vacation blues but also discovered Entourage, as recommended by many friends. Every spare moment I’ve had over the last few weeks, I’ve been watching the show – its amazing! I’ve always been a fan of Jeremy Piven and LOVE his role in the show (Ari Gold).

So, Nice!

We went to Paris the previous year – it was OK. I may have to go back to reassess. Nice was something else. What I loved:

  • Beautiful and friendly people
  • Very Scenic everywhere
  • Incredible food (very reasonably priced – some reviews would have you believe otherwise)
  • Old Nice – little cafes/bistros, gelato places, pubs, nice restaurants all in a beautiful old city
  • Beaulieu Sur Mer – a little town outside of Nice
  • Eze Sur Mer – also a little village on the hill with a stunning view
  • Wine and Cheese

Instead of a hotel, we stayed in a Condo. Yes, those are the coolest stairs ever!

Old Nice – Lively at all ours

We were there for only 3.5 days but really tried to made the most of it. It’s definitely a place to go back.

This place had more Ferraris than Brampton has Civics. Beautiful Place!

Finally, the whole reason for the trip. Bobby + Gurdeep. Congrats!

The entire wedding day I used my 5D Mark II with 50mm 1.8 (no flash) just so I could stay inconspicuous. It works really well for such situations.

Now, when the heck is Season 8 of Entourage coming out? Can’t wait!
