had a lovely couple of hours at Thermea tonight…

a while before leaving the house all of a sudden it was very foggy…

 
could barely see on the drive over, but it was beautiful on the grounds… had a lovely view of the moon while we were sitting in the outdoor pools…

reminded me of the lovely hydropath at the Kingfisher Spa just outside of Courtenay, BC… tried to get there whenever I visited my daughter while she lived at the coast… have come a long way from the days when I could only stay in the steam sauna for about two minutes, lol…

today we spent the most time in the eucalyptus steam sauna… pretty hot and steamy… also really enjoyed sitting by the fire on this beautiful evening…

  
finally had the chance to go at night to see how it looked lit up… lovely…

a wonderful treat, thanks to the generosity of my colleagues…

final treat of the day were these flowers that jumped into my shopping cart…

  

water…

big girl pants, Kingfisher, spa, Thermea, water

lovely day… woke up fairly early and watched a bit of TV…

did some chores around the house and then was picked up by my daughter and a friend and went to Thermea (a Scandinavian-type spa)… it just opened this month and we wanted to check it out… packed a bag with robes, flip flops and a toque…

one of my favourite places is the Kingfisher, on Vancouver Island…this spa reminded me a bit of their hydropath…

one nice thing about Thermea is that you can spend the whole day moving from the saunas to the hot tub and cool tub and the cold pool and waterfall…

there were dry and wet saunas (a eucalyptus one and an orange one)… usually I don’t last long in them, but found it much easier today… must be those big girl pants…

even encouraged the girls to try the polarer pool… name kind of says it all… the temperature in that one is 10 C… just a bit refreshing…

we had a lovely snack and even had a mimosa before we hit the water…

the relaxation spaces were lovely… one had heated marble benches which were very nice… we also sat around a fire in a roofless log cabin… my hair still smells like a campfire, lol…

hardest part of the day was not talking… all the sauna and relaxation areas are quiet zones… after a while hearing people talking was a little irritating:-)… we did pretty well…

I do love the water… it was a lovely treat…

glad I was talked into going…
