A Spa in Girona

We are only spending 1 night in Girona to be closer to the airport for our flight tomorrow. 

Andrew and I got to the hotel and realized that again we are going to be out of place... we are staying in a 4 star.

Since we had most of the day at the hotel we decided to use their gym and then their swimming pool/spa. We used the outdoor swimming pool and splashed around... acting like children. Then I was getting a bit cold so we decided to go into the 'spa', which was a fancy indoor swimming pool. There was a couple reading on the benches in the 'spa', so we were trying to be quiet. We got into the hot tub and Andrew's eyes lit up; he saw buttons. Of course he had to press them, and all of a sudden the jets are blasting noisily from above and below water, and water is spraying everywhere. This is about the time when I noticed that there are signs on the wall asking us to 'please keep the silence'. We almost died laughing. The jets were making so much noise and we were laughing so hard as Andrew tried to turn them off with no luck. Finally he turned them off and the room returned to silence. Then we get in the pool and guess what, there are more buttons, each under strange contraptions hanging over the water. Andrew pressed a button below a faucet that looks like a shower, and the NOISY streams of high pressure water that shot out almost knocked him out. He turned those off after a laughing fit and frantic button pressing before we went to the other end of the pool to to sit in water massage chairs. A lady then came in after we had been in the chairs for a while and I guess she was just as curious as Andrew because she got into the pool and started pressing buttons. She isn't as lucky as Andrew though, because when she pressed the 'shower' button the high pressure water shot her right in the face. Andrew and I both burst into laughter and unfortunately our laughter was louder than the water shooting at the lady, because she heard us.  We left after this thinking that somebody was going to ask us where our parents were.
Tomorrow we are off to Groningen, Netherlands.
