We wandered through the cobbled streets with their tiny shops, and the smell of fresh bread everywhere. The town is very French/Swiss. We got to the hot mineral spas. There are two, one modern and one ancient, the modern one cost half the price, so guess which one we went to? The building is white and surrounded by clipped green grass, with a fountain standing in the entrance. Parts of the building are round making it very aesthetic. For 15 Marks we got 2 hours. They have seven mineral pools, sauna, sunbeds, inhalarium, showers etc. In the seven pools there are jets of water that shoot out, and you use to massage the fat under the water. There are also different temperatures, ranging from 18 degrees to 40 degrees. I really liked the hot water. I think all the freezing we went through in winter has made me crave the heat. We also lolled around in a jacuzzi type pool. It seemed strange that there were signs up everywhere saying that doctors recommend that you only stay in the water 10 minutes at a time. We went to the mixed sex sauna and everyone was nude. Eventually we whipped our costumes off and went in. We must have been the youngest in there, and I suddenly had the impulse to laugh but I didn't. All these penises walking through the door, imaging if a guy walked in and suddenly everyone started laughing. We tried the inhalarium which was just a room full of steam-I didn't enjoy it- in fact it made my chest feel tight. When we left we were relaxed, refreshed and very clean.
