Kat Treks the World: 26 August: Massages and Chocolate Making!

Today was another good day. I was very tired from the night before but still managed to get up for my appointment at the massage parlour with Maud and Erica. I've never had a massage before and seeing as they're so cheap over here I thought why not. OMG it was amazing, if you've never had one, get one!

We spent half an hour going in and out of the sauna and shower. Had a very funny and embarrassing moment when we first went into the sauna. The light was off so we all sat there in the dark completely naked, then suddenly the door opened and a hand stretched in and switched the light on! We all had to move very quickly to get our towels back on. Was really good and I'll definitely look into getting them in London. They gave excellent butt massages we decided haha.

Later on in the afternoon I went to a chocolate making class with Rosie, Steve and Rachael. Us Brits love a bit of chocolate it would seem. The first part of the session was dedicated to talking us through the history of chocolate and how the Mayans used it in rituals and ceremonies. Then we got to make our own and flavour them with whatever we wanted. I put salt, chilli, mint, ginger, Oreo, macadamia nuts and hundreds and thousands in mine; the only problem being there is no way to differentiate between them all.

Next we learnt three different ways we could use the cacao bean to make chocolate drinks. And I bought all the bits so I can do it all again at home, even the hot plate for the stove.
