Princess Spa

Today was spa day!! I was so excited. On this covered outside terrace, our hotel served breakfast to their guests, so before heading down to the spa, we ate. There was tons of food on this table, so we grabbed croissants, cereal, yogurt, fruit, and juice and chose a table. We thought this was breakfast, only to find one of the maids coming our way to ask us how we wanted our food! They made us toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, beans, tomatoes, sweet corn and mince on top of all of the food we already brought to our table! They also brought us coffee and tea, so we were stuffed by the time we were finished. We went and changed into our robes and slippers and headed downstairs to start our spa extravaganza (or should I say mine??) Mine was happening in this incredibly cute hut looking structure that was dark with soothing music playing, one bed in it, and French doors that opened up to the pool and beautiful landscape of the suite and surrounding land. It was amazing! My pampering took four hours and was the most relaxing four hours I have had in a very long time. I felt like such a princess. My masseuse was this cute native lady named Maggie. All of the products they used were made in the Cape area with natural plants and extracts of plants only found in South Africa. They were amazing, and I bought a bunch of them to bring home (: I was so relaxed. Miles finished before me, and was lounging in a chair by the pool. I came and sat by him for a little while, while the maids brought us freshly squeezed juice that was amazing as well. It was the most incredible experience ever. We lazed around for quite a while, and then decided to go eat before we headed back to Durban. On the same water front as Panarotti’s the night before, we found a restaurant called Mugg and Bean, one we have become quite familiar with during our stay here. We parked a ways away so that we could walk along the coast and take pictures, and see all of the crafts the villagers had set up along the same path. We ended up finding and purchasing some more cool crafts, took some amazing pictures, and then went to eat. Mugg and Bean has the most yummy giant muffins, so we of course got some to go (: then we started on our drive home. We were very satisfied with how our weekend panned out, and I was still so relaxed. It was a great day.
