Happy Birthday Richie!
I
was feeling pretty fragile this morning after the amount of vodka consumed last
night. My head felt fine, but my stomach was in knots – I didn’t even eat my
breakfast, which is not like me at all.
Q. What
is the best cure for a hangover?
A.
Gorgeous sunshine and ice-cold snow.
Marc and Marie ditched their lesson again and headed up a gondola to the top of a
green run. Mum and Dad took them down the first time then they continued as we
went further up the mountain. After a couple of hours we headed to a French
bakery opposite our hotel to get some lunch and something sweet to eat. After
having some grub I felt thousand times better.
Once we had eaten something, Mum, Dad, Zak, Aimee, Richie and I headed back up the
mountain to snowboard and ski some more then at 3 o’clock we ventured to La
Folie Douce (which we now know means Beautiful Madness which sums it up
perfectly!). There were people dressed up as Scooby Doo, Woody from Toy Story
and Where’s Wally dancing on the table. People had their shirts off, the music
was loud and drinks were flowing. There was even a blowup doll flying around. The atmosphere was electric and Richie fully
intends on getting us all up there again tomorrow.
At
quarter to 5, just before La Folie Douce closes, Richie, Aimee, Marc and Marie
headed back down the chair lift while Mum, Dad, Zak and I snowboarded/skied
back to our hotel. Once we had all showered and got ready we walked into the
main town to a Tex-Mex and BBQ restaurant called Smithy’s Tavern. The
atmosphere was great, all of the staff were English and the menu had a huge selection
to choose from (including lots of vegetarian food for Marie). The food was totally
phenomenal. We all decided on a starter and a main course but we couldn’t squeeze
in a desert. We loved it so much we even booked the same table again for Friday
night, our last night here.
Slipping
into a food coma I thought it was time to go back to the hotel. Mum, Zak and I
made our way back home while the others stayed out for an extra few drinks to
celebrate Richie’s birthday.
We
have some fun plans for tomorrow so keep an eye out for my next blog post!
