An expensive trip to St.Anton

St.Anton is known for being an expensive resort, but it was not because of the over-prised beer that our trip on Saturday became so expensive…

We wanted to go to St.Anton to check out the skiing possibilities and of course experience the well known after-ski there. We went there by car in the morning, and I think our plan was to get home in the evening? :) Anyway... the weather was great most of the time but there was practically no snow… fake snow in the slopes and very icy at some places. We found a whole group of Finns there who then showed the way to the best after-ski place in the resort. The place was crowded whit drunk Austrian-and Dutch people but we had a great time dancing on the tables, like you should do on a real party. ;)

The problems began when we came out and I could not find my snowboard anywhere… The place where I left it was now empty. It was not anywhere else near the restaurant either. So I had to go back without a snowboard. Next day we went looking for it but we could not find it anywhere. The lady at the lost-and-found place said it’s probably stolen and she did not seem surprised. Obviously it happens quite often there. So I went to the police and then we began our trip home…

Hermance was already quite upset because she got a parking fine in the centre of St.Anton. At this time we just wanted to go home as quick as possible… a little to quick maybe, because suddenly we discover the police car right behind us whit the blue lights on. “So fräuline, wie schnell fahren Sie eigentlich?”… She was 40km/h over the limit and got a ticket of 35€! (In Finland they would probably had taken away the driving licence!)

So the sum of the day:
One stolen snowboard
One parking fine
One fine for driving to fast

När snön tar slut måst man gå..
