Spa! Now updated with pics and all!

Most definitely a spa!

It's been a long time since I last visited a spa. And Antonia's Filipino roots are buried so deep down that she's never been to one before. But despite our lack of [recent] experience, we both felt completely at ease with the concept at Dwór Oliwski in Gdansk . Better still, we loved it. And the miserable weather conditions outside didn't make us love it less!

The water in the big pool was 29 degrees Celcius, which I thougth was pleasant and which is enough also for a six-month-old. Actually, it's enough even for a soon-to-be-33-year-old and a not-yet-35-year-old, so we were all happy.

Being new to the whole swimming thing, Antonia practiced floating. She did pretty good.

After, she looked like a princess on the throne where she rested in her lounge-chair. She felt like one too! True, her language still lacks certain words (ok, all words), so she didn't say that really, but you see, she's very easy to read. Plus, I read her better than anyone else. So take my words for it: she felt like a princess! Dad and I relaxed in the lounge-chairs of the menth-steemed resting area instead. We too felt like royals, but I guess we looked more like the lazed-out-on-the-beach-and-captured-by-paparazzi than the in-the-throne type of royals. The sauna was pretty cool too, but it made the camera fog up.Best of all was the hot tub, though. Warmer than the big pool and bubblier than the bath-tub at home every is.At times the air would shoot up so forcefully that Antonia and I, who both like to stay close to the surface, would get water all over our faces. A bit scary, but it stayed on the right side of exciting. Yup, the whole thing was AdamAndAntonia approved. We wouldn't say no to a new spa visit sometime in the near future. Especially not if spring keeps procrastinating its arrival.
