I just got home from the most wonderful experience. A 7 hour Wellness Spa treatment with 6 other women in some village called Wiesberg. The spa was a large house, completely renovated with thick stucco walls that were rounded and of various heights, beautiful tile floors and state of the art sauna's, steam rooms, group shower room, quiet lounging rooms where talking is verboten as well as chatty lounging rooms.
The day began with a champagne brunch, various cheeses and meats, breads, fruit, and chocolate delicacies. Each of us had 3 individual appointments which included a massage, a facial, and either a head or foot massage. Group experiences included the Steam Sauna with lemon grass water poured ceremoniously over hot rocks, a foot bath with each of us having our own personal ceramic foot sink, and a steam scrub of oils and poppy seeds. In between treatments you could sip champagne, water or wine in the beautifully appointed, albeit sparsely appointed dining room or one of the lounges waiting for an attendant to come and greet you, and take you to your next treatment.
Lunch was divine. Organic greens topped with lox and hot spiced scampi. There were other choices but this was mine and I loved every bite. The husband and wife team who own and run this are in their 40's and would not divulge their dressing recipe :-(
7 middle aged women, 3 of whom are German but with good English ranging in age from 39 to 62, sitting around in bathrobes, sometimes towels, sometimes nothing, becoming friends on a new and different level. Intimate talks, silly behavior, everything real. This is something I would recommend for every woman. We deserve our Queen for a Day!

A day like that would make you sigh, Ah, Life is Good! Sounds like it couldn't get any better for you. I hate to ask you this, but would you be willing to do it again if I came to visit?
Absolutely! and I'll invite my friends, because its a lot more fun with a group. I put the address in my "favorites" on the GPS. At one point during the day I found myself thinking "I feel just like one of those rich and famous persons."
Z couldn't believe I forgot to mention being served petite ice-cream sandwiches on wafers when we in the hot sauna. And, the Vitamin D drink when we were finished.
First class all the way. These Germans love their spa's.
Oh that sounds like heaven. You will have to do it 2 more times, with Connie and with me. I am going to figure out how to get notices of your blog right now. I can't believe I keep missing all the action.
Did the ice cream melt in the sauna?
No, but that's exactly what I would have expected. It was very small or maybe it would have.
