Spaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

So needless to say, after our two days of physical exercise, we were in need of some pampering!
 The Scandinve Spa was just the place!  Since it was our honeymoon, we got to get a luxurious spa package.  
BIG pine tree welcomed us to the spa
 Our package included a one hour couples massage (by the best masseuse EVER!), the Scandinavian Baths, a fluffy bath robe, healthy spa lunch, and a goodie bag filled with a water bottle, sandals, and snacks.
 This place was incredible.  It was nestled in the woods in the mountains, and was completely serene.  There was even a no talking law in the baths, for complete relaxation.  The bathrooms even had heated floors!
 After our incredible massages, we went to the series of the Baths.  You alternated getting hot in a eucalyptus steam room, Finnish wood burning sauna, or hot tubs for about 10-15 minutes.  Then, you jump in a freezing cold pool, or ice cold shower for 20-30 seconds (I couldn't get myself to pull the handle).  After that you relax in a solarium, by an outdoor fire, or in a hammock chair for about 15-20 minutes and do it all over again.  
 Doing this series several times, relaxes the body, and detoxifies it.  It was so relaxing (except for the cold shock)
Everything about this place was incredible and top notch.  The service was excellent, spa built beautifully, food was delicious and healthy, and was in the most beautiful location.  This was one of my favorite honeymoon treats!
