Spa Time and Dinner

After getting settled into our villa, we all decided that a visit to the spa was in order. Our helpful staff found a wonderful spa very nearby and set up appointments for us. Part of the service is pick-up from the villas. It took longer to turn out into traffic than it did to drive to the spa.

Once we arrived we decided on our services (two hours of massage, body exfoliation and mask, and a soak in a floral bath). We were then led into the courtyard from which all of the treatment rooms were accessed. It brought on immediate relaxation. 

The massages were wonderful and the prices incredibly low (US$60). We had such a wonderful experience that Shayne and I went back for a different package before leaving.

After getting all relaxed, we were ready for dinner. La Laciola is an Italian restaurant that sits right on the beach. When we arrived we went to the bar for a tropical cocktail after walking to the water's edge for our first view of the Indian Ocean. It was very dark and very beautiful.

While enjoying our drinks the heavens opened and the rains came. We ate dinner with the rain falling all around providing a tropical soundtrack for our dining enjoyment. After dinner a member of the restaurant staff drove us back to our villa so we could rest up for the next day's adventures.
