Had another days boarding today at Mount Ohau, I say a day but to be fair I cried off for coffee after 4 runs due to leg cramp. To make me feel better about the day we headed off to a hot spa. Now, this is NOTHING like we have back home. You walk in, pay your 60 bucks for the two of you and they lead you outside to a totally sectioned off area where there is a a shower/changing room on one side, a lake on the other side and in the middle a cedar wood hot tub heated by a log burning stove. They supply you with towels and a flask of drinking water so you don’t need anything. In fact the owner looked at us like we were crazy when we mentioned swimming costumes, “why would you?” she said. So you are basically left for an hour and a half to soak away aching muscles with instructions on how to stoke the fire.
