July was good!

Today was my second day at work after the vacation, and it is ok to be back. To summarise the summer in one word is amazing, there have been more activities than I ever could imagined. However it started with quite cold, unstable and rainy weather in June but improved a lot around midsummer. We have been having stable weather since then with around 30 degrees and sunny weather.

In July we managed to pull of the following activities, this is also the reason why I not have updated the blogg that frequently:

• Hiking to the top of Dent de Crolles
• Downhill biking in Alpes d'Huez
  
• Skiing at the Les 2 Alpes glacier
  
• River rafting in parc Vanoise
• Hiking the mighty Mont Aigille in the Vercors Plateau
  
• Hiking to the waterfall of Orsière and spending the night camping at an altitude of 2000m at the mountain lake of Lac Robert
• Attending the Jazz festival in Vienne twice
• A weekend down in the Mediterranean visiting Cassis & the islands of Porquerolles
• Biking up to the 1968 Olympic ski jumping facility in St Nizier on the Vercors Plateau
  

Surprising is that I started to do crazy stuff as biking and running up and down mountain slopes. Perhaps the most crazy activity was the downhill biking, where you descend from mountains on narrow, icy and sometimes very snowy paths. See some picture below from that particular event.
