Getting Well in Slovenia...

Next, Jimmy wanted to head to Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. I, however, thought it would prudent not to walk around again the day after Plitvice, but instead to head to a spa to recuperate. After much discussion about why a boy who grew up like Tom Sawyer would ever consider getting a massage, we headed to Lasko, Slovenia home of Wellness Park Lasko. The drive through the rolling hills of Slovenia was beautiful; uncharacteristically, we stayed focused on the spa and did no sightseeing. The hotel was brand new and we were the first American guests. The thermal center featured a retractable glass dome over a variety of different pools including this martini glass whirlpool. Jimmy wasn’t feeling much like Tom Sawyer after an hour in a private jacuzzi sipping champagne followed by an hour long sychronized Ayurveda Couples Massage (a 5000-year-old Indian healing technique) .
