After the short night, the morning shift at the pixel desk and the detector meeting I went out to Fort l’Ecluse to chain myself to the mountain and climb some rocks … the Ferrata there is a nice and relaxing ending for a nice day …
And now I need my bed …
Woooooha! What a week … after Paul Kalkbrenner last weekend it was time for the Godfather of Electronic Jazz Mr. Laurent Garnier to play up in l’Usine Geneva … nothing but an outstanding performance!!!
I’ve waited for quite some time to see him (again) …
Together with his live band … yes this DJ has a band fo four other guys following the conductor, him!
Hmmmm … this is a must for everybody that likes even only a tiny bit of electronic music …
After the concert it’s three hours of sleep and then the control room :|
Something about bad signs … after going to bed at about 5h45 this night (which is already kind of a bad preparation, I know) … I also managed to put my alarm an hour too early :| … 8h15 instead of 9h15 … aaargh!
Besides that … it was a beautiful hike … even though we had some rain the great views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains more than made up for it …
Of course the hike is on my webpage by now …
On Sunday I had a very nice hike 6h30 up to Le Mole. You can see some part of the extremely nice view from the peak of the mountain.
Besides all the fun, I had to learn (even though one could have guess before) that a single yoghurt for breakfast is not enough for doing a hike like this … hmm! … and I can still feal the way down in my knees … but it was certainly worth it :|
More pictures are in my gallery …
… 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!
