BADEN BADEN DAY 3 AND 4

A nice relaxing day, about 10.30am we caught a bus to a place called Unser Merkur, well above the city of Baden Baden and with views to other valley's and towns . The ticket also included a great trip by funicular rail to the mountain top. We also took the lift to the top of the observation tower...wonderful views.
After walking around the park area and having a quiet sit we decided on lunch at the hilltop  cafe, good sandwich each and after a  beer and wine and we off down the hill and back to town.
 Later in the afternoon we did a walk along the beautiful creek, now this creek is fast flowing and the surrounding lawns and gardens are all well cared for.
But that's not all.... Baden Baden is a money city and it shows in all the shops and buildings but especially the residential homes... Along this creek are some of the towns most exclusive homes ,some were former palaces, there are also some of the  most expensive 5 star hotels in the area....it really is swish.
DAY 4
We started out thinking this might be a much quieter day of looking and walking. We had given up on the idea of another session at the bath house but as the day wore on we decided to try the CARACALLA SPA about 300meters from the hotel and the Friedrichesbad Spa
The Caracalla Spa is a totally different experience.... part one is togs on... this it includes a massive indoor and out door spa  pools  with each pools a different temp, there were pools with and without jets of water. Theres a hot and cold Grotto, Aroma steam bath, solarium and lounges, bubble seats and water falls to massage you.
Then there's upstairs...NO TOGS AND KIDS and a range of amazing saunas, steam baths, Aroma sauna a  spectaculum, fire sauna, and blue room relaxation sensory room, We stayed for over 3 hours ..fantastic arvo, but no pic.... you can google it for the full story and pics
