A day at the spa

Our day in Rotorua went like this:

We woke up, had breakfast at the hotel (complimentary), and then went to the Polynesian Spa. If you've never heard of it, it's one of the top 10 spas in the world, according to some spa association. Located on the shores of Lake Rotorua, the spa is fed and heated by natural hot springs.

Luckily for us, being there on a Monday, there were a few openings for spa therapies, and so Mashall and I each booked Aix Massages, which comes with free access to the Lake Spa Pools. There are 5 pools in the Lake Spa area, ranging from 36 to 42 degrees, Celsius. For are alkaline and one is acidic. That was all fun and relaxing, but the Aix Treatment was the best thing ever. It begins with a skin exfoliation using Rotorua mud (you could choose one of their sugar scrubs instead), and then a fll body massage under a shower. That's right. A massage in the shower. My two favorite things, all wrapped in exfoliating mud.

After our day at the spa we went to dinner and watched movies at the hotel. A nice, relaxing, last day in New Zealand.
