Better than Bali, AND..no flying.....!


Aimee and I decided that we wouldn't give each other 'stuff' for Christmas this year, an 'experience' that we could share was the way to go. I had heard whispers here and there but it was on recommendation from a friend that we booked in last week for a massage at Onyesha Spa (a Swahili word translated here as 'to discover') not really knowing what to expect. Oh la! walking through the wooden arbor, catching a glimpse of the spa through the tall trees, we knew we were in for a real treat!
Just a mere 30 minutes away using the Mitchell Freeway there it was, a gem set amidst 10 acres of lush gardens, who knew! We booked the outdoor Rainforest Pavilion (see last post), not realizing that on the day it would be 36C outside, no worries..under the canopy of tall trees the lotus lake spread out before us, the weather was a non issue. After a full body massage, a hand and foot treatment, we floated back to the garden terrace to drink herb tea with nibbles..such an exhausting business haha! Thanks to Lauren my messed up back is feeling much relieved, but I can see that we're going to have to return now and then for a bit of 'maintenance'! Hope you had a good weekend and are all set for the week ahead, take care.....
 On the way out, I caught this glimspe and had to pull over for one last shot..!
