A SPA DAY IN ROTORUA

Not as smelly as made out to be.

One of our couple of days in Rotorua we spent at the Polynesian Spa. It was, by far, the highlight of my trip. I emerged from that spa feeling almost terribly relaxed, I really shouldn't have been driving a car. The first hour there we spent at the public hot springs, swimming lazily about in the deliciously hot, but slightly smelly, water. The pools apparently have various medicinal benefits. I have no idea about that, I just know they it felt heavenly. After that I had an hour massage, then an hour facial: my first ever! I have very sensitive skin, so have been wary of things like that in the past. Both the facial and the massage were amazing. It helped too that when we emerged from our prospective rooms, the staff provided Jenna and I with crudités and hummus. That's what I call service. After that we got a private hot spring all to ourselves for an hour, overlooking the lake. It was heaven. I have never been so pampered in all my life and was worth every cent I paid for it. I didn't take any photographs whilst at the spa, for obvious reasons, so here are some random photographs from around town.
