<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Old city, actually called the low-city, awaited us. We took the train and subway to Asakusa, a district by the Sumida river. Our first impression was that it looked a lot like Kyoto. More of a traditional style architecture, lower buildings and many shops selling traditional Japanese goods and crafts. </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We walked along the Nakamise shopping street. A lot of sweets and souvenirs on offer, and a lot of tourists. The street ends up by the Sensō-ji shrine, a beautiful place that send us back many </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">centuries</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">. It is a lovely contrast to the skyscraper skyline behind. </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We wanted a snack by the food ve</span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">ndors but there were only sweets on sale. So we walked over to the other side of Sumida river, heading for the Tokyo Sky Tree. The neighborhood was charming with a couple of modern touches such as the Asahi beer tower with its weird golden turd looking statue on top. </span><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before heading up to the tower, we had our first bowl of Ramen. We went for a restaurant recommended by Lonely Planet and this pork bone based noodle soup was delicious. </span><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Tokyo sky tree is the worlds second highest tower at 634 meters. It has two observation decks at 350 and 450 meters. The tower is situated in the middle of a huge mall, with an amazing amount and variety of shops. Among the weirdest and in our opinion the most ridiculous was the PPAP café. Some guy sings "I have a pen apple pineapple pen" and suddenly there are </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">cafes</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">department stores</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"> filled with merchandise. During our trip we had seen this on </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">TV</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">, on billboards and met people who just loved this, and we still don't get it.</span></span><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The view from the tower was breathtaking. We waited until after dark so the city was lit up and just went on endlessly into the horizon. We really wished we had our tripod with us.</span><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a couple of hours at the top, we stocked up on fresh fruits, bread and cheese for a relaxed evening at our appartment.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">After days with window shopping and figuring out what to actually buy, we went back to Ura Harajuku for shopping. This is one of our favorite places to shop. It's small enough so you can get a good overview of what's on offer. The selection of shops is unique with several local shops and some international brands within a reasonable budget. There are lots of great places to eat too. We had delicious sandwiches for lunch before heading back to the apartment. We had such a great time out in Shinjuku the night before that we decided to make a rerun, this time everyone was in and we added a show at Robot restaurant. There is no point trying to explain what the show and restaurant is about. It was the most insane, over the top, hilarious, crazy and entertaining show any of us had ever seen. 90 minutes of nonstop flashing lights and colors made the streets of Shinjuku seem almost faded. Almost. </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The night flew by with karaoke and small bars around Golden Gai. In the end we rounded it up with the best hot-dogs ever before turning in.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We got up early and left for the Tsuijki fish market. The market is a mixture of shops, eateries and the inner market area where fishermen buy and sell hundreds of tons of fresh fish every day until around noon. We walked in the inner market marveling at hundreds of weird creatures of the sea. You have to watch out though, the workers work at high speed and if you don't pay attention you </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">suddenly</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"> get splashed wet by the cleaners and end up smelling fish for the rest of the day. We ate sushi fresh from the sea and bought Santoku knives. Many checks off our </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">bucket list</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We walked to Tokyo tower in the Roppongi district. The walk took about an hour through the skyscraper and financial district of southern Ginza and Tsuijki. Tokyo tower is inspired by the Eiffel tower and was completed in 1958. The tower has two observatories, the main observatory at 150 meters and the special observatory at 250 meters, offering views of Mt. Fuji, Mt. Tsukuba and of the Tokyo metropolis.</span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We ate delicious noodles on our way back. Some of us headed for a night out in Shinjuku and others rested and slept to gather some energy for the remaining days. </span></span></span><br />

Hakone is a popular getaway for tourists who want some fresh air and great mountain views. On clear days you can see Mt. Fuji from here. </span><br style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The train ride took a little over 2 hours. We were supposed to ride the comfortable "Romancecar" train, but there was something wrong with it so we ended up standing for over an hour on a subway. We took a round-trip as recommended with a zik-zak train up the hills. The trip continued by cable car and then the roapway up and over the hills and volcanic gas field ending up by Ashi lake. We had great views of the mountains around us and fall foliage. The sun was just setting and we caught the last boat to other side of the lake. After a short bus ride we took the train back to Tokyo. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We headed out to Akihabara district after breakfast. We were yet again met by neon lights, huge billboards and thousands of people making their way through the crowded streets into one of the many crazy shops selling manga retail and a lot of other odd stuff. We ate lunch at a maiden cafe, which was just way too cutsie for our taste. A hilarious experience for sure, and something we're gonna remember long after we've gone home. We took the subway to the Imperial palace garden and from there we walked to Ginza district. </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a quick refreshing stop at our apartment we got ready for a night out.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We slept in and headed for Harajuku after breakfast. Harajuku is the center of Japan`s most extreme and different teenage culture and fashion. But amidst it all there`s something for everyone here. Like an owl cafe.</span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The city is so full of impressions and after walking for a few hours we needed to rest our feet and heads. Some of us checked out a nearby shopping district while others napped. The shopping district Ura-Harajuku has a great variety of shops with more casual clothing than Takeshita street in Harajuku. It also has great vintage second hand shops. We were lucky and found some great deals. </span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Ura-Harajuku continues towards Shibuya where we had a real american style dinner with buffalo wings, ribs, sliders and beer. To burn off some of the calories we walked home, continuing the endless window shopping. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before leaving Kyoto we checked out Kyoto tower to see the 360 degree view of the city. The tower is 113 meters tall and situated just across the train station. A perfect way to end our visit here. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Shinkansen took us back to Tokyo. We made our way from Tokyo Station to Sendagaya by train and subway. We had a hard time finding the apartment but with help from kind locals we finally arrived at our Airbnb place. The apartment was delicately designed in Japanese style and we loved it! </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shibuya awaited us. A quick 2 minute subway ride and we were suddenly i</span><span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">n the middle of Shibuya crossing and </span><span style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">millions of neon lights and billboards.</span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">The weather was freezing and it had snowed earlier for the first time in 54 years in Tokyo. We walked up and down the streets trying to plan our evening. We soon learned that the best way is to just go with the flow. So we ate fried noodles, partied at Fightclub with cage boxing, ate tapas at an Italian restaurant and found an underground club, ready for a night out. We met some people, danced and learned a few Japanese phrases. All in all a packed and fun first day back in Tokyo. Kanpai! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We slept in after a late night out. We walked downtown, through the Imperial palace garden and Higashiyama district, taking us a couple of hours. It`s not allowed, or at least frowned upon, to eat or drink while walking around. So we sat down for lunch at a great sushi place. The food was, as expected, delicious. We even found new favorite bites, that we haven't seen served in Norway.</span></span><br style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We split after lunch, some of us needed a massage and others shopping therapy. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We had the bikes for another day and left straight after breakfast to Arashiyama. It is situated by the western hills in Kyoto and is an area with Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples and a bamboo forest. We walked for a good couple of hours admiring the sights and especially the bright colors of fall foliage. We stopped for green tea, frozen yogurt and a traditional Kyoto snack; Mitarashi-dango. This is a rice flour dumpling served with sweet sauce. We spent a little extra time people watching and enjoying good wine with our pasta lunch before heading back.</span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since our Airbnb apartment didn't have WiFi, we sat at Starbucks to get the latest updates from world news before heading out for dinner. We wanted to try Kobe beef but at 25000 yen for 100 grams, we found that a bit on the pricey side. Instead, we found great Japanese/Italian place that served Waygu beef. This was the best meal yet. With our stomachs full we continued the night at a jazz club with live music. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Roboto Slab, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We woke up well rested.

Bikes and music had bikes for rent for 500 yen, about 4 euros, for one day. It took us about 30 minutes to ride along the Kamo river to Fushimi Inari-Thaisa. This is a Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto with several kilometer long walkways with thousands of torii gates. A nice way to spend the afternoon with pleasant fall temperatures. As we were descending the sun began to set and the walkways were lit up. Later in the evening we wanted to go out to have a couple of drinks, but the jet lag got the best of us and we turned in at midnight. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We had a 2-week trip to Japan in November 2016. The flight from Oslo took 16 hours and we landed at Tokyo Haneda airport. </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The public transport system in Japan can seem overwhelming, but it is very well organized. With good help from the airport </span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">staff we found our way to Tokyo city. We hadn't booked a place to stay for the first night, and this turned out to be a challenge. For the first couple of hours we walked around trying to find a vacant room with no luck. At the same time we were dazzled by the bright neon lights and the magnitude of this place. We found our way to Shinjuku station and left our luggage there. Since we didn't have anywhere to sleep, we got ready for a night out in Shinjuku. Strolling the streets, eating some kind of delicious </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Japanese</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"> tapas and drinking sake at a hilarious karaoke bar, the hours went by easily. Our plan was to leave for Kyoto on Sunday. After a bowl of late night - or early morning - noodles we headed for the </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">train station</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for tickets on the Shinkansen. The high speed train took just over 2 hours, and for some of us this meant 2 hours much sought after sleep. </span></span><br style="font-family: "Roboto Slab", "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We arrived in Kyoto at 9 am. We couldn't check in at our Airbnb </span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">apartment</span><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"> before 4 pm. So Sunday was spent in a coma like condition walking in the Imperial palace garden and drinking coffee; while reading up on Kyoto for our 4 days here.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since it started to rain in the whole Savoie region, we wanted to get to a bigger city with more to do. Since our flight would leave from Geneva airport on Friday, Geneva was the natural choice and just a quick 40 minute drive from Annecy. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;">We tried to find a nice Airbnb apartment in Geneva but went for a hotel with a more central location. We </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> know so</span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> much about Geneva before coming here. The last three days were spent window shopping, sitting i cafés in between showers of rain and trying</span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Swiss specialties like fondue and chocolates. We took the Mont-Salève cable car for great views of the city. </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Geneva turned out to much smaller than we imagined. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mo</span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">nt Salève is actually on the French side, but we </span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> even notice crossing the boarder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The last day we went for a great road trip around Lake Geneva with a stop in Gruyères, home of the best cheese. We ate a filling lunch/dinner of Raclette and a local macaroni specialty. Gruyères is just as you could imagine a Swiss alpine village with a castle on top of the hill, sheep and cows around and mountain skyline. The drive home was almost even more amazing driving on the south side of the lake, the French side, through vineyards and one picturesque village after the other all set in a beautiful mountain landscape.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Three weeks packed with amazing views of mountain tops and valleys, mouthwatering cuisine and wine, some of the best trails we've been on, fresh mountain air and adrenaline filled descents and races. We're ready to go home, but definitely not done exploring the Alps. </span></span></span><br />

The bikes were stacked in the hotel room and we explored old town by foot. The town was getting ready for Euro 2016 finals, France - Portugal. It was hot and humid and we were pretty beat after two weeks of riding and racing. We ate a terrific dinner with local wine and found a great spot to watch the game ready for a night out. Sadly France lost, so we decided to turn in for the night. </span><br />

There are so many places in the French Alps for mountain biking and we had a hard time deciding where to go next. Finally we landed on Alpe d'Huez, just an hour drive to the other side of the valley. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588); font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="color: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , 0.870588); font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Again a successful booking through Airbnb. We planned to stay over the weekend so we could participate in Megavalanche. With over 2000 riders, this is one of the biggest DH races in the world. We got to know some other norwegians and had a couple of days prepping before the race. </span></span><br />

After some hours of sleep I made it down the trails and qualified for the race. Saturday was was spent recovering and on Sunday I made it down the 30 km trail! Happy and pretty beat I took a shower and we ate lunch before heading on to Annecy for some downtime by the lake.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Next stop, Les Deux Alpes. The scenic route from Chamonix took about 4 hours. We booked our stay through Airbnb and got an apartment with an incredible view of the town, mountaintops like Aiguille de Venosc , Lac Lauvitel, Le Rochail and the Les 2 Alpes bike park. There are a lot of lifts and with a day pass for 25 euro, you get trails from 3400 all the way down to 900 meters. </span></span><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The first days were spent eating, drinking wine, enjoying our surroundings, biking and prepping for the Mountain of Hell race on Saturday. </span><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The qualification run was on Saturday and luckily it didn't rain until later that day so the trail was dry and superfun! The finals on sunday started at 9 from Glacier de Mantel. This meant waking up at 5 am to catch the lift up at 6. It was foggy and cold. 700 bikers were all going up at the same time for mass start. </span><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just as we arrived at the glacier, the fog lifted and the sun started warming nicely. Clear blue skies and amazing views, 700 bikes all lined up ready to slide down on the snow. It just made everything worth it.</span><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The ride down was crazy! The smell of burning brakepads filled the air. The ride was long, all the way from the top down to Venosc. I ended up waiting in a queue due to a couple accidents on the way down. Otherwise a successful first mtb race! Want to come back again to crush my record. </span></span><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="font-family: 'Roboto Slab', 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We got some great tips for our next stop an decided we would leave for Alpe d'Huez after spending Monday sunbathing, shopping and barbecuing on our terrace. Nice way yo heal sore muscles and end a great stay i Les 2 Alpes.</span></span><br />

We left early Saturday morning for our three week vacation in the French Alps. We flew to Geneva, rented a car and got good instructions how to get to the French side and avoid Swiss highway fares. First stop, Chamonix. We booked our stay through Airbnb and got a nice little apartment right in the center of Chamonix with views to Mt. Blanc on one side and Le Brévent on the other.<br />
We spent some time getting to know the town and familiarizing ourselves with the lift system and when and where it was ok to take our bikes for the first ride.<br />
<br />
We went for Le Tour first. A 20 minute drive from Chamonix. Great trails, amazing views and just the perfect opening round for this trip. We topped the day with the best cheesy toast we have ever tasted and some local beer.<br />
<br />
On Monday we woke up early to clear blues skies. Perfect weather, since we had planned to get to Aguille du Midi. At 8 am there were no queues. The cable car takes you straight up to 3842 meters above sea level. The 360 degree views are breathtaking. We spent a better part of two hours taking pictures and experienced a brief moment of altitude sickness, or dizziness after running up some stairs.<br />
We got down with the cable car, walked to the other side of the valley and took a trip up to Le Brévent for more great views and pictures. We wanted to try to ride down Le Brévent and decided to go get our bikes. The ride was rocky and steep at first but the singletrack in the woods was great fun!<br />
<br />
The day ended with great burgers and beers at Pocoloco burger. We sure could spent many more days exploring the Chamonix valley, but Les 2 Alpes and the Mountain of hell race awaits us.<br />
<br />

A perfect day biking with our guide, Gonçalo and his friend Louis. We highly recommend Bike Rentals for the excellent service and going all out by arranging a gourmet picnic. Thanks to them we had a great start to our mountain biking season.<br />

I met with my guide and geared up for a day of mountain biking. I had arranged with Goncalo and Louis to show me around the amazing Sintra Mountains.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Heini spent the day sightseeing the city of Sintra and the park Quinta da Regaleira. We`ll let the pictures tell the rest.<br />

Oh Casa Sintra serves up a really good breakfast. After enjoying our morning coffee in the garden we started our hike up to the Moorish Castle. It`s a 9th century castle with a view over Sintra and the surroundings. From here we continued to the Pena Palace which is one of the most beautiful palaces we have seen. Every part of the palace represents it`s own architectural era. After a tasty lunch and some local wine we climbed to the highest point, Cruz Alta to catch great views all the way to the Atlantic ocean.<br />

<br />
We arrived in Sintra late in the evening on Saturday. After checking in at Oh Casa Sintra, a nice B&B near the Sintra centre we headed out for our first Portuguese meal and rounded up our first night with a glass of great port wine.<br />
<br />
Next day we drove to the west coast to check out a couple of spots for photos. We had a great lunch at Azenhas Do Mar before driving to the western most extent of mainland Portugal and Europe, Cabo Da Roca.<br />

To get from Patale to Manebangong we had a good ride infront of us. Mostly on paved and gravel road. As we rode out of Patale we said goodbye to the mountains for one last time. When we entered Manebangong, after 5 hours of riding, we found a very nice downhill trail leading through the city. We jumped at the oppertunity and the locals cheered us on as we blasted past them at high speed. After some fun we packed up for the night ad we were ready to leave for Katmandu the next day.<br />
<br />
The next day we rode down to the river were our jeep waited for us. After getting in the jeep we had a nice 7 hour ride on some of the worst roads I have ever seen before we arrived in Katmandu.<br />

After waking up in Pickey we did a two hour climb to get back to Pickey Base were we stayed a couple of days earlier. We took a break there and enjoyed the view. Then we rode out for some great freeriding and single track riding in a 2 hour downhill experience. There were som great views on the way down and high fives were easy to come by when we reached the bottom.<br />
<br />
We stayed at a small house just outside Patale. The owner was proud to have us visit and also showed us his half finished building next door. The building was to be a bar and was of course open for business even though the building itself was not finished. So we ended the day by drinking beer in a half finished bar without a roof on the ridge line of Patale.<br />
