Snuggly Sunday at the Spa

We went to the Franken Therme recently. It’s a spa, where a lot of old people go, but hey it’s nice. They’re renowned for their salt pools. Even with one that’s got salt from the Dead Sea! We got a spa day package that was entitled “Perfect Bathing Ceremony,” it was quite romantic!

We started off our day in the heated pools. They all have that light therapy where different colors glow from the bottom of the pool. They also have jets and these bed things where you lay in the water and the bubbles bubble on you. There’s even a pool bar, you better believe we checked that part out!

Our package included the sauna section, which we couldn’t decide if we were comfortable or not in there. Mainly because it was jam packed with old people … and I mean 60+ old people … that were NAKED! I guess it’s a European thing so we didn’t fight it. We went with the flow. There are saunas and baths you can take.

Now there were also spa sections to our package, which we loved the most.

The first was a mud bath “thing” (since it’s not what I’d call a mud bath) that you do. You get in and rub mud all over. There’s a special mud for your face and a different one for your body. Then the steam starts … and it gets H-O-T in there! I was like to a point of almost gasping for air. So you sit in this steam, sweating and in the dark. Then as the brochure calls it, “a sensual tropical rain begins” … it was more like a tsunami! The lights flew on and both John and I across the room simultaneously jump out of our skin we were so relaxed and comfortable. We decided that it was great, but a terrible way to end it.

The next part of our spa day was the couples’ massage. It was fantastic. We got to pick out our own body oils, I chose red wine and John chose white wine. Then we had a ½ hour massage, which was sooo worth it!

Our final part of the spa day was the emperor’s bath. Where we got in a got into a milk bath in a gold bathtub with champagne and chocolates. THAT was my favorite part.

When we left, we were relaxed and drunk of that wine they kept bringing us … it was a fantastic day. The only thing we missed out on was a beautiful fall day. We couldn’t take any photos inside, so we took some just before we went in.

And one after we left, as you can tell we were so snuggly sleepy that we didn't want to do a thing.
