Biking and some wine drinking

I've been quite lazy recently not updating the blog as much as I would like to. So I will make some effort updating it on everything that been happening in April.

The past couple of weeks the weather has been approving a lot, for example we've been having sunny weather and over 20 degrees for the last weeks, very comfortable. This also means a transition from the skiing activities to something else. I say something else because I don't know for sure what I want to do. However there are plenty of alternatives such as mountainbiking, sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing and hiking just mentioning a few. You could also ski for a couple of weeks more but it's not very good, it's to warm transforming the snow into strange porridge.

Anyway I actually bought myself a mountainbike this weekend, and there was no reason to wait so we went out biking directly after our purchase. I say we, because Fredrik also bought a mountainbike I also feel sorry for Mikael because when were heading back to City Suites he found out that his bicycle probably have been stolen.
We went to a nearby park in Grenoble with the name Parc ile d'Amour (island of love), here we found a trail leading to a nice lake, I was actually hoping for something like this, bringing my bathing kit. This was my first swim this year the temperature in the was around 18 degrees, it was great after doing some biking.





We finished the day by attending a vine buffet at the La Bastille in Grenoble, and as most people know, a drink as much as you can evening isn't very good for your health, this was also the case for this session waking up with a terrible headache. Anyway the evening was great with nice company, decent finger food and of course as much as white wine, red wine and champagne as could handle. I also let the night people of Grenoble know of my French language skills talking way too much in relationship to my actual knowledge, don't think anyone understood a word I was saying.


In spite the hangover and headache (Fredrik was feeling even worse then I did but I somehow managed to activate him) I manag'ed to get myself out from the bed. I've been doing some research finding the lakes that exist in the near vicinity of Grenoble, this day I wanted to go to lac d'Aiguebelette and since Fredrik was still drunk he was up for everything as long as he could sleep in the car. We biked for just a couple of kilometres reaching a quite crowded beach both of us was tired and we fell a sleep in a instance sleeping next to the shore, before we left I went for a swim in the lake. On our way around the lake we found several nice restaurant lying perfect with scenic terraces facing the lake. We stopped by eating ice cream in the sun relaxing and enjoying the scenic view.
