"Cool Vibes"

One of the good things about being in the Port area of Nice (till we move to the north of the city in April) is that there are so many bars, small theatres and restaurants in the area. I noticed a poster for one which had jazz on sat night, so though feeling a bit lazy, we made the very tiny effort to walk round the corner. We just wanted to drink, but unfortunately were given a table which, though it had a great view of the band, was far too close.

While this kept us quiet, it didn't stop the conversation of the young couple just behind me (they sounded like Americans I have to say) who just talked more loudly. Then the rather fastidious M didn't like her gin fizz, nor the playing of one of the musicians. So we left early, I a bit grumpy that my discovery and minor effort had not worked out. Oh well, there are plenty ofother choices - recently we discovered that "The Authentic", near the Etoile, had jazz on Fridays and Saturdays, seems quite "sympa" and will try that soon.
