I had decided to spend the afternoon at the local spa instead of skiing, although the conditions were superb due to recent snow falls the thought of a few hours in thermal baths was quite appealing.
Italy is renowned for its thermal spa’s and the springs at Pr?aint-Didier appeared to be just what the doctor ordered!

After spending some time outside in hot baths and being pummeled by hot jets I moved inside to sample the ‘rain tables’ which were just …fantastic and then on to the sauna.
I was amazed to find the large sauna empty, I made my way to the centre and slowly climbed to the top level and lowered myself down. The wooden slats were indeed hot but I got I myself comfortable on my back and stretched out to soak up the heat, it felt good.
After just a few minutes I heard the door open, I felt he cool air pass over my body, just briefly, as the door closed again, but I was too comfortable to even open my eyes, I drifted back into a semi conscious sleep.

I awoke suddenly, shit I was burning up!!! damn, I must have fallen asleep; my throat was dry and it felt like I was choking, I slowly lifted my head and at the same time swung my legs around and down to reach the lower level, hardly opening my eyes which seemed glued together, my feet landed on something soft, smooth skin…shit! “ Err… I’m sorry” I blurted out, as I realizing my feet had landed on someone…. a young woman was stretched out, beneath me on the next level, ‘ mi scusi signori’ I heard the soft spoken voice.
I rubbed my eyes and began to focus …’I’m very sorry…I didn’t see you’ I garbled…’Its okay …no problem’ …she replied…now sitting up on her elbows and drawing her legs toward her…she smiled ….and I melted!

I swung down to the next level, I was clearly suffering from the heat, ‘you fell asleep?’ she questioned….’I thinks so’ … I replied, trying to regain my composure ‘ yes , I must have fallen asleep… for a moment’ …’I think for 20 minutes, you sleep’ she said, ‘ is that how long you have been here?’ I asked, ‘yes’ she smiled again…she was simply gorgeous and I felt like an idiot!

I decided to make my way out to the showers to cool off, I stood up and moved toward the door, ‘enjoy your stay’ …her soft voice spoke as I passed ‘thanks, you too’ I replied and made my escape….phew!!!!

Gathering my robe and towel I made my way around the corner to the jet showers. I fell into the array jets of cool water that came at me from every conceivable angle. There I stood with my hands stretched out against the wall, the water felt good….what an arse, I thought of myself!

‘Are you okay’… I heard through the noise of the water jets, ‘huh…?’ I spun around, it was the young woman from the sauna, ‘I’m fine now…thanks’ I replied.

She was standing in the middle of the spiral shower area, the water danced upon her slim, but firm body, her bright red bikini complemented her golden brown skin, I couldn’t help but notice just how fit she looked…and I mean fit, not over developed muscles simply… toned…jeeeze….. she was a stunner.

‘You are on holiday…to ski?’ she asked, ‘yes’ I replied… she had moved closer, the noise was seriously deafening…. ‘is good snow for ski…good for off piste’ she added …’lots of powder but hard on the legs’ ….I laughed ‘that’s why I’m here’ I replied, she smiled and moved toward me, much closer now, she angled her head and was looking directly at me as she moved her hand across, to my thigh …she pressed firmly… ‘your legs ….are strong’ she smiled again….
