Water Splashing In Spa!

Ones we woke up in the morning last Friday our dad suggested to go to Kurfürstenbad (Indoor and Outdoor Water Park with Spa) in Amberg (a little beautiful town nearby) just 15 minutes driving from our place. We haven´t been there for a while especially during cold season when kids were sick a lot. Kurfürstenbad is a great place for all ages. Wether you want to relax, want to stay healthy or you´re looking for entertainment, you will be stunned when you come to this place because of the special roof you will feel like you are in a tropical island. It has a very pleasant environment, tropical-feeling place, sunlight pour through the great window above onto the great pool. Yep, Kurfürstenbad is the big complex. The pools is 25sqm...for me this place is phenominal. It has a great open area, Sauna rooms, stone-made Jacuzzis, and cushy beach chairs surrounding middle pool...Not to mention CLEAN. Kids can enjoy the 82 meter long big slides, Water canal, Niagara Water fall, slides for babies and swimming hot pool for babies and baby shift canal. Our boys are water loving boys so they definitely had a blast that day. They really enjoyed some wonderful water play (Water playing is simply pleasurable for young children). Kyle enjoyed exploring water by splashing, pouring and spilling in the baby swimming pool with other toddlers while Kenneth tried the slides, water fall and even learned floating a tried a few attempts to swim with his dad (I guess it´s time to send him for swimming lesson). As for myself, everytime I come to this place, I wanted to try sauna but until now I never really dare stepping inside any sauna room in Germany. This is because the Germans are very serious about Sauna!. If I want to go to Sauna in Kurfürstenbad, I MUST be totally unclothed in the sauna, the only reason refrain me from going to sauna, I decided to maintain my modesty!. Nobody is allowed to enter Sauna with swimsuit or swimming trunk because of sanitary reason. In the Sauna areas one has to walk around naked with complete strangers. Additionally, there is no male sauna or female sauna, these are all coed..(tend to be unisex). I cannot take it haha..I am a very old fashion asian woman. Sauna sounds enjoyable, it is supposed to be the pinnacle of all relaxing things, its a place of stress relieving, immune system strengthening, therapeutic qualities, but I am not quite ready to strip off and join the other Germans in the sauna, maybe no one would bat an eyelid at me since they´re used to it but maybe I cannot help not to stare..observe hahaha....so I decided just to soak myself in Jacuzzi whenever I go there. Probably I will try Sauna one day when I have a brave heart hehe..
