1. BASENY MINERALNE

Let’s go to Solec-Zdroj, a spa area in the Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross), an hour’s drive from Krakow, to discover the brand new complex, Baseny Mineralne (photos 1, 2, 3 & 4). Immaculate pools in a super modern infrastructure, are filled with a “thermal mineral water” solankowo-sulfide rich, with therapeutic effects. This spring water contains the highest concentration of sulfur in the world: “The biogenic sulfur is an integral part of the human body” (Baseny Mineralne). And honestly I really regret not having had the time to follow there a therapeutic treatment for several days. Maybe next time …

2. MALINOWY ZDROJ HOTEL MEDICAL SPA **** 

At the Malinowy Zdroj hotel Medical Spa **** in the countryside , I tested a bath with the famous water rich of solankowo-sulfide ( photos below ) . Early wake up, I head in a bathrobe (like all of the curists) to the therapy center of the hotel. There’s no glam , were are in a medical spa . And it smells strong sulfur. A nurse (I guess) leads me to a single cabin which immediately recalled me the pools for “real” swimmers ( lol! ). The capacity and bath time are automatically set. After 15-20 minutes , the tub is empty ( photos 1 & 2) . The water is warm which is very nice . And I took the opportunity to make a few snapshots : all indications are in Polish only ( lol! ) . Once the care is complete, you should not take a shower to maximize the benefits of the water. The skin is very soft and the muscles relaxed . The hotel has also developed a cosmetics line based on the thermal mineral water. In my next post , follow my wellness weekend in a luxury spa in Kielce …

Poland: Attending a Famous Witches Show in Kielce

Poland-Kielce-Witches Show-11-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2013

If you ask me what I preferred my too short weekend in Poland, without hesitation I answer you: people, people, people! In Kielce, I was invited to the fourth edition of the live show “Sabat Czarowinc” (Sabat witches) in the region of witches Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross), in the center of Poland (pictures 4 & 5). Live broadcast by TVP Polish national channel, with the cream of the Polish showbiz! Including these four trendy boys, with the unpronounceable name (sorry guys!): Kabaret Skeczów Męczących (KSM) who made me laugh a lot (picture below). No, they are not another exotic boyz band! Just four talented comedians who have revisited the famous Gangnam Style of Psy, in a Polish parody: Świętokrzyski Style (advance video to 2 minutes if you do not speak Polish)! I was in the audience stupidly jumping in the Psy way, sorry but this beat’s still made me dance (LOL!). The show ended, then I went to the private (after) party for the artists and stars who participated to the show and the organizers. The ambiant was very nice and relaxed. An exclusive nightlife for my first time in Poland!

Grand Hotel Milenij: A Roow With A Marina View

Croatia-Opatija-Grand Hotel Milenij-2-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2013

The day was long,

from early in the morning we took the road to the island of Krk. Back to Opatija, I have just 1:30 to get ready before going out. I am invited to a open air theater, for a Croatian comedy/music hall. And I will surprise myself to laugh a lot (picture 9). Yep you read that right! No, I haven’t taken any Croatian language courses : situation comedy only! Arriving at the hotel, I quickly go up to my room, where I attend a beautiful sunset on the terrace. I don’t want to move and just meditate in peace.

The view is awesome!

On the opposite bank (pictures 1 & 7), Rijeka I will visit tomorrow. Pictures 2 and 4: the marina out of a postcard at my feet! Time stopped like a Pagnol novel! I can spend hours and hours contemplating the scenery and gently fall asleep. But my mobile gives me the signal … The shower is getting impatient: Mademoiselle Le K, your day is far from over, LOL! A music hall awaits you and whistling the “New York New York!” of Lisa Minelli (I luv u Lisa), I won the bathroom.
