st_martin_aWhen my wife finished her job as a youth worker, the church gave her a gift - a day at a Spa for two people. I've never been to a spa day but I imagined it involved sitting around not doing much and it didn't seem like my kind of thing.
Anyway, I went along and it was an unusual day.
It took place in an expensive hotel on the edge of the countryside. Perfectly sculpted gardens, golf course, fountains, ... We had a good look around the inside of the hotel too because we couldn't find the spa and everything looked perfect, like something from Stepford Wives.
Then when we found our way to the spa area we were given white dressing gowns, white slippers and a white towel. It felt kind of weird walking around with other people all wearing white dressing gowns.
Then we went for a Fire & Ice experience. There were about 10 rooms all with low lighting. You went into each one wearing swimwear and sat with a few other people. Some were steam rooms, some were ice cold showers, some were Jacuzzis. There weren't many men there either which made it slightly strange too.
It was a good day out though. Just nothing like I've experienced before.
And my skin felt really clean afterwards.
