Spa day

Another early to rise with me getting coffee on before 8. We enjoyed it with the maple creamer on our deck watching the beautiful BC nature. The full bay is so crazy to see. 

At 9:30 we headed out in the car, picked up Tim's iced coffees (breaky bagel for S and carrot muffin for me) and off to find a park. We took a short walk along the sea shore but it was chilly. And windy :) I did ground my feet in lush grass which felt good.

We then continued our drive north along the coast. Randomly turning to the east we found neat views, beach accesses and at a ferry- a seafood market. The French Creek market. We bought bacon wrapped scallops and salmon in hopes of having them for supper if hungry after our spa day. So many lovely potential retirement homes were passed. We chatted about booking a place here next year for a month but today it opened up camping options here too. 

Once we were almost at Courtney we turned back after 11 and headed back to Tigh-Na-Mara. We had a cold beer and chips on the deck. The tide was heading back out so we took a walk down the beach. In sand that was hot even. Our beach trip 2023. After a relaxing sit in the sand below our condo we headed up. 

Time to grab our suits and head over to the Grotto spa before 1:30. We soaked in the mineral and hot pools before our couples massage. We enjoyed a banana and nut mix while we waited for our 2:45 massage. It was very relaxing and almost sleep inducing. 

Our 15 course tapas event was up next at 4 pm. Check out the menu I linked. It took almost 2 hours to get thru them with such amazing tastes. There was only 3 things we left - a dry waffle, and gherkin pickles and onions. The rest was ate to the plate including a dandelion and orchid flower. And only beverage we chose was lots of water.

We were back at the condo to stretch out on the couch at 6. We had ZERO room left to cook the seafood. Looks like breakfast tomorrow. So full!! So full not even a beverage. Hockey was enjoyed by S while I watched Queen Charlotte with headphones.
