Uganda: The Spa Experience

We were “beloved guests” at a hotel in beautiful western Uganda. After today’s distribution, we arrived back at the hotel and a couple of the SCAW team members headed for the spa facilities that the Women of the Inner Wheel were highly recommending. After a long but wonderful distribution day with 500 very sweet children, we definitely needed to rejuvenate!

The spa opens daily at 5 p.m. -- Ugandan time, 5:45 p.m. We sat in the beautiful 25 degree late afternoon sunshine on the patio – the lovely lush rolling Ugandan hills surrounding us on all sides.

On entering the spa, we were presented with two freshly pressed but thin cotton towel. We changed in the dressing room. Of course, the only other person in there was a beautiful young woman who with great expertise wound the one towel into a turban around her. She looked great.

She could see we were HOPELESS. She tried helping us, and then she went on her way.

The scent of eucalyptus is lovely. The company too.

It is a fine Ugandan sauna experience.
