A couple weeks ago one of our American friends, Meredith, was so sweet to offer to watch Makenna.  Ryan and I decided to have a date day at a local spa, Royatonic, about 10 minutes from where we live.  Most of the spas here offer spa treatments but also have “baths” of thermal water (local water that is said to have healing benefits) to swim or relax in.

The spa was beautiful and had a variety of different baths.  The baths look like hot tubs, however, most of them were just luke warm.  There was one large pool area with tepid water that had a waterfall, a bath in a room that was lavender scented for relaxation, a bath that was warmer more like a hot tub, a bath with massage jets, one with really cold water for circulation and to cool down after using the sauna, and then several baths/pools outside.  The inside was decorated with fake rock to look like you were in natural waterfalls and baths.

In between trying out the different baths, we relaxed in the saunas and hammams (steam rooms).

During the week they offer exercise classes and baby swim classes in the pool area.

It was so nice to have some time to relax!  Next time I think I’ll be scheduling a massage in the spa 😉

After we left we had a little bit of time to stop for a drink so we went to a little bar near our friend’s apartment called Le Fizzy.  It was a really interesting little place and we tried a cherry flavored beer which was delicious!
