Spa and nightmarket

Well that was another rainy day, we have more rain overhere than in Holland hahaha.....but still it is never cold and perfectly do-able to have a swim in the warm sea or one of the pools. However we have become softies and prefer to do other things when it is raining....;) This morning we planned a nature walk, but the storm cancelled the walk so we looked for an alternative thing to do....which was going to the Spa :D That was cool!!

SPA

My parents did a 90min foot treatment while I tried a 50min hot stone massage. Before the massage my feet were washed while I drank a cup of delicious herbal tea, I spend time in a steam chamber for 5min, followed by 15minutes of outdoor jacuzzi after which I had a shower in a small tropical garden outside the small hut in which I was about to undergo the massage. Due to a misunderstanding over the phone of my mother they got me and my dad a male massage person....well anyway not too bad for a first try ;) I never really undergone a full body massage, also because it tickles hahaha.

So there I was in my sarung (a male long skirt), after getting rid of that and being naked under a thin piece of cloth. When the stones were hot it all started. The first touch felt weird, not used to that, but after a while I got more relaxed, and more relaxed and more relaxed.....being on my belly for the first half hour I was looking at some beautiful flowers that were positioned under my face. The stones are used to rub your spinal and then move more to the outside and the arms during which some stones are pushed at specific spots or put to rest on those spots for a while to release its heat. Then they went to my legs, which was weird to have a guy with stones touching my ass hahahhaha that was very strange indeed, not used to be touched in those places by a guy and by someone who I am not intimate with ;) After that I had to turn around and my front was done while I was wearing cucumbers on my eyes and a heavy fresh towal on my eyes. Then it was time to get up again and after some pressure on several places in my neck and skull and some pretty hard hitting they managed to make me completely awake again, all fresh and new!! I was guided to the entrance where they got me a nice slice of watermellon and a new fresh wet cloth.

So how was it? It was good!! I really felt nice afterwards, although the left side of my body is really much more sensitive leading to some giggling effects when it was massaged hehehe. The asspart also was completely weird as stated above, but well it contains many nerves and senses so it would not make sense to leave it out. I really liked the hot stones being pushed at the bottom of my feet, you felt it throughout your body.

Nightmarket

This evening we went to the night market in Kuah (Langkawi's capital), a market with local people and local food. That was another HIGH, really nice atmosphere and great food!!We tried chicken Satay, small spring rolls with a peanut pepper sauce, a sort of pancake filled with chicken, wadjik (sweetened rice), 2 other type of sweet rice cookies and afterwards we sat on a terrace and ate a medium chicken soup (which was really rather big), oyster chicken and nasi kampung, and we drank nice fresh juices. That was fantastic!! mmmm super rico!!

Tot morgen!!
