Fun Long Layover at Munich airport
 
I can't fnd my original post asking for suggestions for my 5 hour layover at MUC to add this to it. Hmmmm.

I had toyed with the idea of going to Freisling, but actually after investigating a bit, the Kempinski Hotel Spa was looking tempting as a final treat to my St. Petersburg, Russia trip.

So I wandered over there at 7 a.m when my St. P. flight got in, to enjoy a 30 min. massage after using their spa for a similar amount of time.

It is 18E for unlimited spa time in the summer, or 52E for 30 min massage and 30 minute spa circuit.

After a dozen laps in the pool, steam bath, jacuzzi and more laps, I settled into a lovely massage.

They give you a robe and slippers, and you have acces to complimentary teas and bowls of fresh fruit as well as a number of foreign papers to keep you busy afterwards.

It was soooo relaxing!

I think I may travel with my suit in my carry-on from now on!

I always try my best to have at least a 5 hour layover at Munich airport.

This sounds like heaven! Thanks for sharing your wonderful idea! We'll probably visit the spa in Badenweiler in September.

Coming to Cinci soon??

Hi images! Yes, I hope to be there the end of August, maybe around the 22nd. You around? How was China? Did you post a report?
