AT 11:00 DH & I had our first spa appointment, an Exotic Rasul. The rep brings you back to the rooms, explains the order to put the products on, and leaves and locks the door. Everyone knows this room is about a LOT more than just detoxifying and slimming down with Algae products.
What I find MOST fascinating about the Exotic Rasul treatment is that Disney says it is for
UP TO 3 GUESTS!!!! Hmmm...that's pretty sexy for the mouse, don't cha think?
Well, boring us, we went in alone with just us 2, that was exciting enough!!
Anyway, here are some pics of the rooms before we got them all muddied up- Here are the goopie things to smear on-
Here are their premium products you can use to your heart's content once you have finished with the others-
Though this door is the steam room-
In the steam room we used the hose with the cool water to make the seats bearable- but the steam felt good!
That's a great treatment, I would sign up for it again in a heartbeat!!
We thought we'd stop in for a bit at the rainforest room after we partook of the icy cold cucumber water. The rainforest room is GORGEOUS, and incredibly relaxing-
Really, it is completely relaxing in there, and I was amazed at how beautiful it was- it is incredible it is on a ship. We laid on the heated tile lounges for a little bit, then headed out. I actually went up and got into my workout clothes and spent some time in that awesome and motivating fitness center (I didn't get to do all the weights I had wanted to the day before, so I wanted to finish it all up. Plus do some work on my belly- tonight was formal night, and I needed to get into that gown!!) DH went up on Deck 9 and laid around reading his book while watching DS9 play in the pool-
After I worked out, I showered in one of the incredible showers up there in the locker room- wow. It's great in there, too.
Anyway, I made DS9 hop out of the pool because look who was coming by the Goofy pool to say hi-
Then he was back to his pals in the pool-
It was now DS11's turn to play Dodge ball and basketball on the sports deck-
As usual, he was having the time of his life with everyone in the club. DH and I grabbed paninis and salads for lunch, and we did a little more of this-
Dh had no plan to do anything but exactly this for the rest of the afternoon, especially when DS9 hopped out of one pool and into another to watch "Finding Nemo" on the Dumbotron. Well, we were supposed to be going to High Tea at Palo- soooo, I went on a hunt to find a more willing participant- luckily, I ran into Sherry from the plane! She did a little manuevering, and at 3:00 we met at Palo for tea. First we chose our teas, ( I had the Chai, it was lovely) and they were poured and our sandwiches brought.
The sandwiches were very tasty, I especially liked the foccacia veggie one. Then we had the desserts-
And they served us the best of it all, the lemon tiramisu, which i am sad to say I forgot to take a picture of. I scarfed it down in too much of a hurry, it was THAT GOOD. Sherry was great company, and it kills me that I don't have a photo of our tea together!! That would be due to the fact that after I had inhaled the tiramisu, it was after 4:00- I was supposed to meet DH at 4 in Sessions for the Martini tasting!!!
Sherry insisted on paying the bill, she said she was so glad she got to experience Palo. How nice!!
Martinis and more in the next post!
