Yes, I've been lazy both in writing and uploading pictures.
But as you will find out pretty soon, I've also been lazy at taking them!
It's not much, but it will have to do:
If something doesn't make sense in their order ... that's because I'm very lazy :P
Lazy cheers,

Keep Walking
It's not that I am lazy, it's just that I've been doing a small amount of activities each taking a long time, so I felt kind of silly posting each day with one paragraph. So now, after a few days, I can write a single post to summarize them and maybe a bit later sort through some photos and upload them as well.
So (not remembering where I got to in my last post) after a few hours of driving we got to Geneva and immediately procceeded to drink a bottle of champagne followed by a bottle of fine Israeli red wine (Ben Zimra). Not much happened that evening, we just settled in my cousin Misha's place and went to sleep.
The next day we we drove across the french border to Mont Blanc to a small town called Chamonix, took a cable car to 2300m altitude and did a 5hr trek. Somewhere along the way we stopped at a small mountain cafe for hot chocolate and wine and local mountain cheese (was good). At the end of the trek, we got a mountain glacier which was pretty huge and even walked in a small cave inside it. Sad Fact : due to global warming, the glacier has lost over 300m in height. When you see how big the glacier is not and how nig is the vacant space it left, you can't but be afraid for what will happen if we don't stop global warming (Green Propoganda de Jour). We got off the mountain, drove back home, drank a lot of local wine and ended the day drinking beer while watching a match between Zenith Saint-Peretersburg and Tom (some siberian team).
The day after that, which is - as far as i know - today, we spent walking up and down vineyards and along the shores of some big Swiss lake. Overall, it had some nice moments but mostly everything looked the same and I got bored after abour 1 hr (which didn't prevent that day from lasting for over 6 hours ... yay).
Well, that's about all I can be bothere to write. If you have any special requests, feel free to make them or I will keep writing whatever I care to write.
Cheers
Nathan.
