Spanking new blog!

Yep, I know, I fucked it up again!
My first blog was way to complex to manage for my simple mind, so I had to create a new one here, much simpler to work with, in fact so easy that even a blind monkey could use it.
It's not exactly the design I dreamed of but there you go,if you are a tech-retarded like me, you have to make some concessions. Anyway, at least now I can upload pictures which is quiet handy when your blog is about traveling...

Ouais, d'accord, je sais, j'ai merdé!
Mon premier blog étais beaucoup trop compliqué a mettre a jour pour mon petit cerveau étriqué, donc, j'ai dus créer ce nouveau blog, bien plus simple que meme une huitre comme moi devrait pouvoir utiliser. C'est pas exactement le design de mes reves, mais bon, au moins je peux publier des images facilement, ce qui, vous avouerez, est plutot pratique quand on tient un blog a propos de voyage...

Who the heck is Raoul?

Meet Raoul. An assassin, a thief, a villain, a drunk and my travel buddy. As Amélie send a garden dwarf around the world for his dad, my friends thought that it was a good idea that I take a snap of him everywhere I go.

Voici Raoul. Un assassin, a alcolo un vrai vilain et mon compagnon de voyage. Tel Amélie envoyant le nain de jardin de son pere en vadrouille, j'aurai la meme tache, prendre raoul en photo au gré de mes tribulations.


National Day!

Nearly 800 years without a scratch, a good enough opportunity to get hammered!
To do so, My family, friends and the renegades who left Ireland to invade Switzerland, gathered all together to celebrate this holy day, or more, to pillage my cellar until dawn. Mission accomplished and no need to say the following day was difficult and almost as unbearable than an group of swiss german tourists roaring patriotic songs in your ears.

Still, we managed to do a trek 2 days later topped with a fondue at 15oo meter high (in feet, well, higher than the Wicklows that's for sure) in a nice little mountain farm.

Thanks for everything guys, It was absolutely great!


Family time

2 months to kill before departure, a good opportunity to spend a bit of quality time with my brother and Co. Little hikes and walks through the various swiss countryside strangely always leading to an warm and fine dining experience. Foie gras, terrine de campagne, perches filets or beef filet with pinot noir sauce, you walk for 2 hours, eat for 3 and try to digest for the rest of the day. Thanks to you all, it was great!

2 mois a tuer avant mon départ, une bonne opportunité pour passer un peu de temps avec la famille. Au programme, petite a plutot bonne ballades dans la campagne neuchateloise avec pour finalité, et vous trouverez cela étrange, arret gastronomique pour fin (et affamé) becs. Foie gras et sa terrine de campagne, pavé de boeuf sauce pinot noir, filet de perches, bref, tu marche 2 heures, tu mange pendant 3 et tu passe le reste de la journée a essayer de digérer tout ca!
(enfin, jusqu'a l'apero.)
