Pampering at the Farris Bad

After lunch at the Farris Bad Hotel, Kari wanted us to take a tour of the hotel's brand-new spa. (We weren't allowed to bring in our camera, so these pictures came from the website.)
We obediently walked around with a spa employee, Oooh-ing and Aahhh-ing over all of the jacuzzis, the saunas (each with a different 'theme' and temperature), the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out on the fjord, and the refreshment bars.
Then, as we completed the tour, the spa lady handed us a gift-certificate from Kari to Rob and me and Guro and Magnus, giving all of us a 3-hour spa session that evening!!!!
It was rough, but after 3 hours of mineral pools, herbal saunas, dips in the ocean, and snow-scrubs we were feeling pretty pampered. I could just see all of Rob's residual exam stress melting away...and it was WONDERFUL! We walked out of the Farris Bad with soft skin, clean pores, basically exuding relaxation.

What a wonderful, wonderful gift.
