On Tuesday we spent more time in the city and then went up into the mountains to a spa/sauna. Bath houses/saunas are commonly frequented by the locals here. The spa was incredible, boasting Finnish, Russian and Turkish baths, complete with two salt water pools, indoor/outdoor hot tubs, steam room, sauna and ice pool. I got a massage (Amy) and then Travis and I and friends soaked in the pools, ate a fine dinner, and then soaked some more for the rest of the night.
