Hiking online

Since we had some troubles finding nice and well described hikes, and maybe also because I like adding things to my webpage, I now have a section on hikes.
Each hike comes with some information on duration, height and length, with a map and an elevation profile … the last and very nice hike I did on Sunday is also in!
I’ll try to add more over the coming weekends/months/years …

Statistics played a trick on me

Just came back from the dosimetry service at CERN, where I finally got my dosimeter!
Actually I got five !!! Yeah five !!! Cause apparently statistics played a trick on me today.
Out of the ten percent of chips that fail (by definition somehow) I got four IN A ROW.
How unlikely is that … and guess what, you have to wait four to five minutes after each new chip to get registered in the data base … so over the time I became good friends with the guy at the counter ;)

A bit of everything please …

… that was the motto for the long weekend!
Heike was around and we started with some nice originally French dinner at a friends place (thanks to the hosts). On May 1st we walked through Geneva and enjoyed some international food at some offshoot of the labour demonstration party thingy … whatever. The evening was crowned with a visit to my favourite restaurant in the area … hmm … I love this place! Saturday was reserved for some hiking in the French alps near Megeve (this time without getting lost in snowslides). Finally Sunday was for relaxing and checking out the little market in Thoiry … which turned out to be quite nice!
