It is somewhere in the Espace Killy :mrgreen:
And here is Cat's photo of her frostbitten toes (and part of our bath!). You can see that the toe is starting to go black under the nail.
She didn't ski on Friday because her toes were hurting so much, and when I came back in at 4 p.m. I told her I thought she should go to the medical centre.
The chalet owner told us where it was in Le Lac, and Daved very kindly drove us there (because the chairlift up to Les Boisses had stopped running).
If anyone wants to know where it is, it's under the shopping gallery, at the top end, and there's a spiral staircase to get down to it.
I've never been to one of these centres before, on a ski holiday, so I had no idea what to expect. It was actually a very efficient place, and we didn't have to wait long before they looked at her toes, said 'yes' it was frostbite, and wrote a prescription for her and told her to buy toe warming pads in the ski shop. It was pretty cheap as well - they only charged her 40 euros.
So then we went to the pharmacist and the ski shop, and the bus ticket office (to change her e-mail for a proper bus ticket to Geneva), and got a taxi back to the chalet (which cost 27 euros!).
We arrived back at the chalet just in time for supper at 7-30 p.m. which was just as well, because if you weren't sitting in the dining room bang on time you lost your starter course :shock:
I suppose this was Bonjour's method of disciplining us to be on time for meals. And if anyone was missing they'd actually go up to their room and knock on the door and tell them to hurry up!
The food was very good :)
It wasn't up to the standard of the 4 star hotel I stayed in once in Zell am See, but I wasn't really expecting that!
They did their best to cater for all of us, and although it was a set menu they posted it up on the blackboard in the morning and if there was something you didn't like you could ask the chef to change it. And he cooked me very nice vegetarian food all week :)
My favourite meal was the one where we had salmon and vegetables for the main course, and apple crumble and ice-cream for pudding :) I've forgotten what the starter was.
What was particularly good for me, was that they allowed us free tea all day, because the tea bags were always out, the hot water boiling, and the cups and milk were freely available :)
And they didn't mind me filling my flask with 3 cups of tea in the morning, which lasted me and kept warm in my rucksack all day, even though it was below minus 20 degrees Centigrade :)
The others seemed happy with the free wine served at dinner :)
CatP lost 2 days of ski-ing because of the frostbite, but she managed to ski the final Sunday with Old Andy and me. She's back in the U.S. now but she informs me that her toes seem to be healing OK and they're not about to drop off (which is what she was worrying about!)
