Now I love the mountains in the summer but a beach is pretty good too. Corsica has both and virtually everything you could possibly want. What a place!

I've swapped back from the anorak to leather jacket. I went by motorbike to the Paleo Festival and it fits a bit better.

You see I’ve been writing a bit about the Tour de France over the past couple of weeks and have got quite into it.

I’ve been at the Montreux Jazz Festival, not to pay see the main acts, but to sample all the free concerts.

I’ve reached my destination of Verbier and I’m disappointed, it's a bit of an anti-climax. You see I don’t actually want to be here.

I had the most amazing ride through France on my motorbike and I’m now gazing up at The Eiger. Life doesn’t get much better.
