Hiking Creux du Van

Monday, June 18th, 2007

Last Sunday we went on a 5 hour hike near Neuchatel. The place we wanted to see is called Creux du Van and is a spectacular vista.

Paragliding

Monday, June 18th, 2007

I got the chance to try out Paragliding as part of a hiking meetup. It was fun, great people and we could run down a grassy slope with a glider strapped to our back. There wasn’t much getting off the ground but still I got an idea of what the starting is all about.
