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!
Nice experience and definitely a good test for our new shoes ;)
The picture is from the Reculet Thoiry hike (one of the nice parts without snow).
Home sweet home!
Looks like I found a place to stay for the rest of my three months at CERN today.
A place in Thoiry shared with the owner of the house.
And I can see the top of Europe, the Mt. Blanc, and the lake from my window … ahh!
Snowboooaaarding! [Update]
Aaahhhh … what a day … I finally managed to go snowboarding for the second time this season … hmm … beautiful place (Verbier) and beautiful weather … but now I am destroyed …
Great day that was almost not going to happen, since my board was caught in a basement where everyone that had a key to it was gone over the weekend … man … but luckily Esben was so nice to borrow me his board to save the day … thanks man!
[Update]
I just remembered to mention that I even jumped out of the lift to get the real off-piste experience … rock on!
Amazon Germany now with mp3 downloads
Since today Amazon Germany also offers mp3 downloads … just had a discussion with a friend about Amazon … by now you can buy almost everything at theirs … of course there is other online shops, but since I’m a fan … why not mention it …
And if you buy stuff using this link I’ll love it even more ;)
Back at CERN
I just arrived at CERN … after the usual two day trip, this time staying at a friend’s place in Darmstadt (greetz to Daniel), I just checked in to the St. Genis Hostel of CERN … which is sh** but will be my home for the next couple of days I as it seems …
