    17. April 2025 in Sri Lanka ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    This morning there was an option to have a massage at the hotel or go to yet more temples!🤪.. so I opted for the spa
    Given.that the hotel was reasonable standard i went to the spa for massage and facial
    All was not as it appeared..it was basically a shack with wire mesh in the window space and shower curtains separating the.two rock hard treatment beds ...there was an expectation to have a steam bath in a wooden chest of drawers type thing that when the lid was lifted looked like a coffin .I refused to get in ..but the person I was with ,did get in and was left to cook for about 20mins ! ...half expected her to be served up with rice!
    After the massage I had a facial .God knows what she put on my face that had to stay on.for 20mins ....but i bailed and said i had to get the tour bus which was true a
    Was not a good experience! A very unexpectedly primitive spa
    Transferred to next hotel via a cafe and I got ice cream from the tuk tuk ice cream man .On arrival discovered they too had a spa but didn't bother
    Some of the Group went to an elephant sanctuary but I decided to chill in my room.
    This evening we have been out for dinner to a traditional restaurant owned by our guide's friend ..I actually quite liked some of the food.
    I have a frog 🐸 in my room which hopped across earlier hopefully don't encounter it in the night!
