Once again we made it to Olden, and this time we had some equipment with us for a nice trip on the mountain. Started literally at zero meter, and the highest top was about 18-1900m. Right before we got to the top we where surprised by the weather. Ice cold rain and thick clouds came from no where in a few minutes (see video). But we made it to the top, and stayed the second night in a hut we had passed a few hours earlier. It was all in all a really nice trip, but next time lets bring some tools for passing those glaziers.
Then my last weekend for now was over in Geneva. Or well, I didn't spend it in Geneva. Ludo invited us to his house near Privas in France. We had a sunny (way too warm) weekend luckily with a swimming pool, and lots of good food and drinks. Thanks for throwing this party and, also thanks to all of those that made us food and cakes. It was all perfect.
Not many days left in Geneva now. But my knee feeling better I felt it was time for one last trip to the top of Jura. Me, Stephen, and Laura headed along, and after some random bouldering, crawling in caves we reached the top and had a nice lunch there. Absolutely perfect Sunday.
The guys in France yet an other time cooked up a big BBQ and party for us. And party it became. Nice weather and me setting the grill on fire, what more could we ask for.
The music was great, and dancing maybe not that great but fun. Italians learning Norwegian songs for kids, and a sleeping host. This night had it all. Thanks for all of you who arranged it. I really enjoyed it.
04.04.2006 The Norwegian king and Queen came and visited the Norwegian workers here at CERN. They got a light presentation about what we where doing here at CERN, then they came around and said hello to every one of us, and asked us questions about how life was here at CERN. We where very lucky with the weather, and the whole day was just as nice as we could have hoped for.
It has been a great year here at CERN. And I have met a lot of great personalities. One of them is Björn Backman, but now it was time to pack up and go back to Sweden. So what is a better way to end a stay then throw a party. We gathered up at Björns place with drinks and food and had a really nice good bye party. Pictures are from his own camera.
Earlier this year, me and some of my friends here at CERN ++, signed up for a tour at the Atlas project to see how far they had got with this giant detector. And it looked good. Might impressed, and would be nice to go there again when it is ready. But then again, my time here at CERN is soon over. So that's why I am taking the time to upload the pictures now. Enjoy.
A few years, I had the Flat Eric avatar on all forums I visitied. Later I got this birght idea that I could take pictures of Flat Eric in all sorts of funny situations, and then post them on one of the forums with funny comments. But the admins did not like that there was girls with not that much clothes nor that some of the pictures contained alcohol and a few other dodgy pictures. So I had to take them down.
Now they are here again. I have taken the time to resize them all, put them in my album and add comments to every picture so it forms a story. So please start on the first picture, then press next to get to the next picture, and get the whole sad storry.
Me, Tomas, Björn and Laura went down to Torino one afternoon to check out Torino and watch an icehockey game. Sweden where going to beat Slovakia, but after 15min we understood that was not going to happen tonight. 3-0 in the end, where the food people and all the weird parkings was more fun then the game. But then again, it is the olympics. It is not all about winning, but all the happy pepople and mixed cultures at the same place caring about the same. Great event, enjoy the pictures.
I went 3 days to England to meet up with VisualAd and Mendhak. It was three really nice days, with lots of travelling, Yorkshire-pudding, English breakfast, Whisky, and Guinness. The last few hours I used to walk a bit around and take some pictures. The rest of the pictures are prety self explainable. Snooker, eating, drinking, and Adam falling asleep.
I can't believe I am uploading these pictures so late, but at least here they are. This is both my and Magnus Aabecks pictures. We had a great time all of us guys togheter again. We tasted every type of alcohol and the dinner was excelent. Hope to have just as much fun next year. See you guys.
PS: The test was negative.
This was my summer vecation this year. 10 days in a really nice appartment close to Bora Bora on Ibiza. Most of the pictures is taken with my cell phone but there is also some pictures taken with my digital caera, so they should have pretty good resolution. Will try to get a hold to some more pictures from the trip later on. But for now, this is it. I can mention that pictures are taken from: Bora Bora, Space, Amnezia, Cafe del Mar, Underground and of course our appartment.
Lakeparade Geneva this year was great. The weather was not too hot, but rain and all kinds of nasty stuff was not present. Only good music and happy dancing people was around. These are my cell phone pictures from the evenet. I have also gathered some other pictures from my Finnish friends I spendt the evening with. I will upload them as soon as I have some extra time. But for now, enjoy these pictures.
