A Thai massage

 After a long plane ride we thought nothing would be better than having a massage  We had read about a massage establishment close to our hotel before we left. In checking with our hotel, we were assured they were reputable. So off we went. We requested a 2 hr Thai massage.   We dropped our personal possessions into a locker and swapped out our shoes for sandals. Off we went. First we had our feet washed. Very nice. Next we were each directed to a room of our own where there was a 1/2" mat on the floor. There were clothes for us to change into. A very light weight shirt and loose fitting pants.  The massage was now ready to begin.

I don't know where the time went but two hours later we were done. Every muscle in our body was stretched and pounded and worked to death. We each gave a few groans along the way. Barry summed it up best when we left. He felt like he had just been beat up and run over by a truck. I attribute it to the deep tissue massage I had once. And then said never again.

I must admit though getting the kinks worked out of my shoulders from hours of knitting  on the plane  was welcomed. Barry is already out looking for another massage place. This time I think I will try the aromatherapy massage.

Met another Carol in the hotel lobby yesterday. She is from NJ and is going out with another OAT tour on Wednesday. We had dinner together at a local restaurant with Carol and another woman named Shona who is also on her trip.

We are headed out today with Shona to explore the city
