Muesli
Downhill Fun
Yesterday, we drove over to our old home Les Gets, France for the opening of their summer season. The lifts were opening for the weekend and I wanted to try riding a downhill bike at their bike park.
Stop, look up & smile
There’s a lady that walks past our apartment in Chamonix several times a day. She is always looking at her feet, looking thoroughly miserable and never says ‘Bonjour’ or even smiles. She’s in Chamonix – missing all the mountains, not smiling at the bird song nor feeling the sun on her face. Boy, she’s missing a lot.
Red Bull Drinks
I’m a bit of a fan of Red Bull energy drinks and their Simply Cola drink. This may come as a surprise from someone who advocates good nutrition but they really can have their place in a healthy diets.
I love the French
You wouldn’t think that the French and the English could be very different, after all we’re only separated by 21 miles of water but we are. Chalk and cheese or cats and dogs, the French are nothing like the English…
Annecy
I love visiting Annecy. It’s an ancient French town roughly 35k south of Geneva. It’s quite touristy and gets very busy but if you can, go out of season when it’s not too hot and enjoy the sites. I thoroughly recommend buying a panini from one of the take away shops and taking it to the lake to consume in the cool breeze. With its stunning architecture, great ice cream, quaint shops and busy marketplace coupled with the serene lake it has something for everyone.
Mer de Glace
A story in pictures. Just to put them into context Mer de Glace in Chamonix is the largest glacier in France covering 40km and 7km long. It can be accessed by the Montenvers train which is a rack railway finished in 1909. The line is 5k long and climbs 871m with inclines between 11 & 22%. The pictures are all from this afternoon – we had every weather going! (more…)
