Sledging and wedding

To start the new year in a fun way, we went sledging in Les Diablerets, a ski resort about one hour away from Lausanne. There you can sledge on a 7.2km way only allowed for sledging, walkers and skiers are banned :) It was a lot of fun, specially since we only had one big sledge for the two of us, and the road wasn't in the best of shapes, with lots of holes and bumps, which my back still felt a few days later :)



And on the first week-end of January, a collegue of Vincent invited us to his wedding, which was beautiful, and would make anyone feel romantic for a nice start of the year.

Happy new year!

First of all, sorry for the long silence on this blog. As such, nothing new has happened since the last post, I haven't been on vacation since and it was just the usual job-daily routine life. After one year working as a "serious" lawyer, there would be loads to say, but more to that in a next post. As for now, a few pictures of my last day in the year 2007, spent having a walk in a nice wood above Lausanne.

This tower was built in 2003 for the new millennium (yes we're slow), made of wood from the neighboring forests. It offers a magnificent view of Lausanne, the lake and the Alps.




The tower is built in the forest of Sauvabelin, a top-Sunday stroll spot for families in Lausanne. There are all kinds of animals kept around the lake, and a restaurant with fondue specialties.
