The guinness isnt a bad price for Europe. But 12eu for a bowl of soup is a disgrace. I would simply not have paid that.

No wonder you have got aches and pains.
I agree mate, i do not scrimp on holiday, i simply do not count what i spend....I have a good time and the price i pay is worth it.
I think Wickers will be cringing at you sock change though, we all know they can at least last a week.

All in all, a great day painless feet ...
Hi Iceman,
I'm glad to hear your feet are feeling better now - let's hope that's the end of the problem

Ho hum :oops:
L2A last week for an illicit and unplanned foray onto the white stuff.
By lunchtime on the first day I was having a moment or two of realisation.
This was the hardest/fastest I had skied for some time what with children of various ages to look after and my feet were taking a beating, particularly my left one which I know is slightly narrower than my right. Feet seemed to be wandering miles off course in my boots, tightening them up didn't work - just got painful.
I thought I might just have a wander in town in the early evening and look in a few windows - as you do .......
:roll:
An hour and a half later I walked out with a brand new shiny pair of boots.
:D
Made by Lange, they are brown and have a furry lining :thumbup:
Very comfy and supportive and a wonderful rest of week was had. No adjustments, no pressure points but I stuck in my own footbeds which are simply a high quality off the shelf footbed rather than formed or anything. My feet are pretty bog standard.
I have been wondering for a couple of years how much longer my lovely Technica bright red boots bought in 1997 would last. Getting a bit long in the tooth really and definately no longer on trend with design - you can see them in the snow dance video very clearly.
Anyway ....
Very pleased with purchase, but sad to leave my trusty old "Reds" behind, I did think about buying new liners but at the end of the day brand new boots seemed to win the argument.
Got home and had a bit of a look at what I had actually bought and am really pleased.
Lange Blaster Pro 100 and quite noticeably cheaper in resort than anything advertised in UK.
Plus plenty of time to ski on them and take them back for a fiddle or even exchange if any problems - result :mrgreen:

Back off topic. Cheese toasty, fries was 11€ today. Just pay the price and accept it. I don't go on holiday to save money - thank god!!
Anyway, boots are good. Found a new muscle that aches tonight!
Officially half way through the holiday, clean socks and base layer tomorrow

In the dry mountain air, drying socks overnight after a rinse in a sink should not a problem. I've even changed to a clean pair of socks half way through the day. Makes life much warmer and more comfortable.
because I'm so inclined .....
