Today we woke up in no rush as the only thing on our morning agenda was an eleven o'clock in-water massage.
We went to the lagoon and soaked for a half hour and then were brought intro the massage area of the 39 degree C water lagoon. After being helped onto floating mats we were covered by a bath towel that was warmed in lagoon water. During the hour long full body massage the mat and the massagee are bent so the warm water warms the body and towel. Any uncovered areas that were not warm were so fresh feeling on the cool air. The weather this day was "6am overcast, but during the middle of the massage our faces felt most strangely warm - the cloud layer broke revealing a bright sun shining on us. By the end of the hour it was once again overcast. What a thrill the massage was especially with the cloud layer opening so. Chalk up one great experience.
After lunch we took the bus to the airport and we waited for our flight. Our plane had to return from the runway entrance to the gate for a minor repair so we took off late. After we landed in Toronto, a problem with the luggage conveyor belt caused us to wait an hour and a half for our suitcases. Danielle had been there for over two hours before we came out ready to go home. Yes, this was the second great thing that happened today - home safe and sound.
What a wonderful trip this was!
