L´Alpe d`Huez Part III

After all the adrenaline-packed sports, we had to do some more relaxing stuff as well.

Both of us have been golfing a little bit here and there over the past years. But we´re really not good!!! For me it´s been around 1.5 years since hit a golfball for the last time. Considering that, our performance was ok I guess. Although the course was the shortest, I have ever played (and most likely will ever have played). Which didn´t make it easier, as our strenght is clearly hitting as far as possible with a lot of power and not a lot of technique ;)


Catching some sand

Bäm!

This was probably the funniest shot we did on the course. Instead of hitting towards the green straight ahead, Lukas was nearly hitting the post on the very right of the picture.

Lukas gave us a good laugh

Another thing about Alpe d´Huez: They have the craziest landing strip I´ve ever seen. Instead of being flat, it just went downwards (or upwards when landing). And for the extra fun: At the end was a cliff, so you should get your speed right ;)







 The views up there were really stunning! We came up that road and it seems that the guys from the Tour de France came up there this year as well. I´m happy we could use the car!


The little Twingo got worked hard

The last day before I had to get home again, we went for a hike. It had rained during the night and was still a little overcast, but the landscape looked stunning. The mountains had a little bit of fresh snow on top, while the valleys were all green.

The landscape looked like photoshopped that morning

The lake

And as a little bonus, we could look at the glacier where we skied from our balcony.

So, that was France! Next up will hopefully be a little video edit. And after that´s it´s time for the park-openings on the glaciers I guess :)
