Candolim in Goa – R&R
Today is pampering day! Yesterday evening we explored the main streets of Candolim and found a coffee shop that also offers free wireless internet. So after a nice breakfast here at the hotel, with laptops in hand, we headed to the coffee shop. My mocha was very good – a nice way to start the pampering! We decided to go next door to a very nice spa and see if we could set up appointments for a manicure and pedicure before returning to the coffee shop to get online. There was ONE shop between the coffee shop and the spa – the perfect place to pick up a pair of sandals to wear AFTER I have a pedicure! J Yes, I bought a fun pair of sandals on the way to the spa! The spa had availability right away so we both had our feet and hands done AND reflexology on our feet and calves. It was GREAT! I feel like a girl again! It’s the BEST!!
We didn’t want to leave this resort with the spa so I suggested we see if they had a restaurant there… which they did! It was an award winning restaurant! SCORE!!! The food was fabulous, the outdoor setting was very comfortable with fans blowing and a mist of water cooling the air… aaahhhhh!
We went back to the coffee shop and sipped more espresso as we got online to catch up on emails etc. I responded to an email from mom and was finishing my daily pages when the power went out so I didn’t get to send my blog updates to Ryan but I DID drink 3 mochas while typing my pages. J Little ones mind you…. all put together they MIGHT be a Venti at Starbucks J
Here’s my little workstation at the coffee shop:
We went back to our hotel for a while… just to relax. We’ll go back to the coffee shop in a little while to make another attempt at sending my blog updates… and coffee of course.
