Since everybody seemed to be gone or busy I finally didn’t go skiing this weekend. Instead I spent some time working at CERN and had two nice chill-out meals.
Saturday we went up Saleve to have a picknick on one of the peaks with a nice view of the Rhone valley and the alps. Unfortunately someone (who’s name shall not be mentioned, not me) forgot the lighter so we couldn’t get the BBQ going …
To make up for this we met again today to have the BBQ in my garden (picture shows view from my window) … hmm!
It’s been two nice days of hiking in the Jura and the Alpes … we almost made it to Reculet near Thoiry (Jura mountains) and all the way up to La Laitemaire (Alpes) … in both cases the snow was our biggest enemy. For the latter tour we couldn’t even find the track on the way down … and due to the loose hip-high snow we ended up sliding down snowfields, crossing avalanche fields and walking in ankle deep mud … hmm!
