Coping with public and private transport since 2001
Today has been pretty much exhausting, which is partly due to the fact our bed in our mobile home really sucks and partly due to the fact that getting up early and walking for almost five hours in the blistering heat (33+ degrees Celcius in the shade) has the tendency to wear one down pretty hard. I’m assuming both are
Continue readingThe following Monday, a major undertaking was on the schedule. We would drive all the way to the other side of the Parc des Ecrins (which is the reserve we’re in by the way) to La Grave. A two hour drive from our general direction, leading us through the best parts of the Parc, showing us the best the Parc
Continue readingA major update today: I’m posting a bunch of pictures we made over the past few days, arranged by day. Sunday, we went for a short stroll ‘just around the corner’ from us, which ended up being a gigantic detour of over 2.5 hours for what could’ve been a short stumble of only 30 minutes. Damn bad roadsigns. However, the
Continue readingAs today has been primarily resting after the day before, I’m both too busy doing generally nothing and too lazy to post something decent. Until the time I’m ready for some proper blogging, you’ll have to have fun on the other parts of the internet. (Yes, there are other parts!) Ontopic: tomorrow we’ll go for a small hike in the
Continue readingAfter doing pretty much nothing yesterday, today was very much active. We went to La Chapelle en Valgaudemar, and some further to reach a hotel sitting on a perking rock, looking out over the two stretches of valley it was sitting in. The road to the hotel was terrible, very small and treacherously high without decent side protection. One could
Continue readingWe went for a walk today, from and to the Col de Gleize. About 1600+ meters of col, ready for me to drive to in my trusty Clio. It’s like my dad said, those French will drive to anywhere. Including a 800 metre ascend on the tiniest of roads. Let’s say there were just wide enough to fit my car.
Continue readingSo we went to France, right? We figured our camping just had to be filled with those French people, talking nothing but french to us. And we figured it would be really old-school and dirty all over. In short, we’re wrong. I’m typing this right now from our campsite, sitting on a remarkably well-kept part of the campsite, with the
Continue readingAfter the previous post of me getting all things sorted out with my current ISP, the title of this blogpost just had to be similar. Well, as you can read on your right, it’s my holiday! I’m off for two weeks total, and will be hiking somewhere in the French Alps. Will be back by September 1st! 🙂
Continue readingJust before my holiday, I’ve hit the 3K milestone! It’s not because of you guys, but the total of automatically discarded messages has reached a number of 3001. If only I would’ve sifted through those manually… 😉
Continue readingYou’ve probably heard it from others, migrating from an ISP to another or new subscribers on a blank line tend to go horribly wrong. Missed deadlines, defective modems, weird connection issues, finger-pointing among the ISP and line-supplier, etc. The horror-stories are well-known and occur too often. Not for me though, I’ve had the most fluent installation possible. Scenario: new (blank)
