Woodpeckers, rabbits and saunas

Ever so slightly hung over this morning, and a lie in for many of us. Some are off on a walk, and some of are going to have a relaxing session in the spa - Aqua Sana. Before the spa session we had a look round the shops in the village square, and went for another walk round the lake to the bird hide. This time there was lots of wildlife and I finally got some good pictures of a woodpecker. the forest has a lot of very tame wildlife in - even the rabbits come right up to you when you're walking round - and they're much cuter than squirrels.


 Then to the spa. I love it - an outdoor heated pool, and lots of different steam rooms and saunas. My favourites are the Indian blossom steam room and the Greek herbal sauna. And then you can go and sit in the Zen garden and wrap yourself in a huge fur rug. Lots of relaxation areas, cooling face towels and foot spas. Bliss. And Annie and I even manage to get a free mini facial. Not everyone's cup of tea but after three hours in there you're certainly relaxed. it was only a couple of minutes walk back to the villa and an Indian meal, delivered to the door.  Evening followed the same pattern as the others - music and hot tubs. No daquiris this time though!
