Thai me up, Thai me down and roll me into a pretzel - Day 24

Dropped Adrian at Toowong station so he could go into town to meet his friend  Justin - a co-worker from Teignbridge that he hadn't seen for 15 years. Justin noticed on Facebook that Adrian was in Brisbane and lives further North in Queensland but working between Sunshine and Gold Coasts so a meet up in Brisbane was organised. Rachael and I drove 5 minutes more to the White Orchid Day Spa where 3 hours of "pampering" commenced. We were lured into a false sense of security by the lovely foot soak and Lower leg massage, I almost fell asleep in he comfy recline chairs. We then wen to our separate owns for our body scrub and massage. For anyone who has never had a Thai massage it is a different experience, I've had one before but had forgotten. The pressure is always at maximum, Ingres, thumbs and elbows find every knot and pummel it out of existence. The nice thing is that you do feel totally relaxed afterwards. After been scrubbed and then cleaned with warm towels and then massaged, the pretzel folding begins. A little Thai woman gets up onto the bed and kneels on your calves and then your thighs elbowing your buttocks into submission. She then sits between your legs and ends them and stretches them until you feel she may just tie them into a bow. After a few more rounds on your back she does various arm locks to finish the pretzeling. Some neck and arm pinching follows. The facial was also slightly non conventional in that the facial massage ends with a bonk on the head and several facial slaps!! Beaten into submission we jumped in the car to pick Jack u from a friends, got a few groceries from Coles and then picked Adrian up from he train station where he was slightly the worse for wear after a predominately liquid lunch. The house smelt awesome as Jan was cooking her famous Roast Pork. We had some crackers and cheese and then a lovely family dinner. Before settling down to watch Die Hard, a movie I hadn't seen in ages. Soon after that tired from my earlier wrestling match I went to bed. Yippee Ki Yay MFs!!
