Our AirBnb is on the top floor so it gets hot up here, but there is a big window with a great view so it's okay. Overall, the places we've stayed have been really great, there's a lot of nice people and thoughtful hosts in this part of the world.
The main goal for today was to enjoy the thermal waters of the spa town called Baden Baden. There's something about the water in this area that makes it (supposedly) really good for your health/skin. It's been a thermal spa town since the Roman times!
We decided to get the 'all day' package for the more modern spa place. The other one is old tradition, and men and women HAVE to be naked together in a bunch of small pools. No thanks!
There were a bunch of pools of water (everyone has to wear bathing suits at this spa place) that were different water temperatures, and some of them had waterfalls or bubbles, etc. One was even a lazy river. There was also an aromatherapy sauna room and a salt inhalation sauna room. Paul got the extra package for more sauna rooms, but I chose to get a 50 minute massage instead.
Ahh...this was the perfect way to relax halfway through our vacation. We were there from 10am until 3pm, and I would have gladly stayed longer! Paul didn't enjoy it quite as much as me, but we were both very relaxed by the end.
We stopped at Cafe Konig so that Paul could try their famous Black Cherry Forest cake, a local delicacy. I had something else, since I don't like fruit and chocolate together.
Then we stopped at two sights on the way home: Geroldsau waterfall, which was okay, and Allerheiligen Cloister ruins, which was also just okay. It was a great day!
