| When first visiting Bad Blumau about three years ago Sarah and I knew we'd have to come back. 40th birthday seemed a good enough reason, even if we did have to miss the exact date by a few days because Sarah had a work obligation. Luckily, Hoyt and Heidi joined us and since it was Heidi's birthday proper we still managed to get the royal treatment and some candles on a cake. The toughest decision to make while here is whether to swim or sauna. Well, it's not really a question of either/or but in what order. There are five pools to choose from, some hotter than others but all tropically warm, geothermally heated by two springs tapped at 970 and 2,843 meters. And while this could be mistaken for a self-portrait it's only because Hoyt resembles me a little when his face is distorted by a sheet of rushing water. |
