We started the bathroom project in February 2016, little after initiating the kitchen project. While the kitchen renovation was only partial, we wanted the bathroom completely redone. The old bathroom had a wash basin and both a bath tub and a shower, and very bad lighting. The toilet seat was […]
Tomi’s been in cold and humid Finland for this past week, while Tei has enjoyed quite aestival weather in Grenoble. Althought the mornings have been cool, the daytime temperatures have climbed to mid-twenties. On Saturday morning it was time to climb Mont Rachais (1050m). Leaving at 9am. it was only […]
Université Grenoble Alpes’ alpine botanic garden at Col Du Lautaret closed for the winter last weekend, so we thought it was about the time to pay a visit on its last day of opening, although the season was already over — there were not too many plants flowering left. Also […]
We spent the weekend in Autrans, a cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping center on the Vercors plateau. We left Grenoble early on Saturday morning to go for a hike to Le Plateau de Molière. We started from Villeneuve (1108m), some 3.5km north of Autrans, and climbed up to la […]

This extended weekend we did three more or less intensive practise runs and hikes to prepare ourselves and test the equipment for this coming Friday’s Ut4M (Ultra Tour des 4 Massifs) race — we will not do the whole 160 on the four mountain ranges (Vercors, Oisans, Belledonne, Chartreuse), but […]
Park hopping Green corridor, the base of the former Malaysian (KTM) railroad that used to run from Tanjong Pagar railway station in South of Singapore to Woodland checkpoint in North, is one of the few wild natural spaces for trail running and bicycling in Singapore that is not manicured and […]
Seeing Taj Mahal live has been on my bucket list since the first time I really started listening to him play on the online radio I listen at work. He is a very avid tourer, but never before has he been this close to us. When I found out that […]
