Just got this email from hubby who is in Brussels for a global internet conference. I reminded him that he was close to the city of Spa and that it might be worth a drive to see it. He found out it was only 90 minutes away, so off he went. Here is his email to me from Spa, Belgium:


"There are many places here with thermes but they are really mineral pools at a property...terme is spa kind of like Italy. I got lucky ...took a tram from center town for about 100 yards up a hill to the real spa in town. Termes de Spa is the name...no hotel as you stay in hotels around the town...Friedrichbad in Baden-Baden comes close except much of the facility is pretty new...especially the treatment areas...nice wood floors and cabins as they call 'em...with views of the surrounding tree-lined countryside. Many pools, whirlpools, high-pressure fountains like fire hoses...they do have steam and saunas and there is one section for au naturel and another for swimsuits. Full-service spa with many treatments, including beauty. Big here are these copper bath tubs with warm natural gas or carbonated water...as you sit in the tub you look out at nature....all the pools reminded me of Fonteverde...oh...they also do Watsu but I could not book a time. Hot place worth a visit."

I'm anxious to hear feedback from you on my blog! Please add a comment by clicking on the link below that reads "Comments."
