Grey and cold in Versailles

I went on my bike to Versailles Palace and gardens in March this year. It was cold like hell - well, hell would be hot right?... So, cold like...cold like Braemar in January!! :-)... The trees had no leaves and there was still snow on the ground. I have been hoping to return to see the flowers but the weather in Paris is still cold as...Braemar in January!

Green Ben More

Ben More is a munro located in the Isle of Mull - Scotland. It is ranked the 7th highest of the British Isles - reaches 966 m of altitude.The climb takes about 4 hours and it starts from sea level. I am tempted to say that Ben More is not a very difficult mountain to climb as I did it just one month after the 2nd operation to my ankle (in June 2010), under a 26ÂșC heat (which in Scotland is quite hot), with only 100 ml of water and weighting 10 Kg more than my normal weight! In a clear day like this the view is breath taking!
