We drove (leaving late, as usual) from Little Rock to a town called Hot Springs, Arkansas - where many of the Chicago mob bosses (including Al Capone) recuperated. We did as well - a mineral whirlpool bath, sitz bath (in case you were wondering - a small bath that you sit in), and a invigorating needle shower. Morag had a pedicure, and I had a full-body massage. We both felt really pampered. My attendant (James) had worked at Buckstaff Baths for 35 years!
Dotted around the town are many taps, dispensing very hot thermal goodness. It's also radioactive - but hey, what isn't these days? Thinking about it now, though - perhaps it wasn't a great idea to 'take the waters' (i.e. drink them) when asked to earlier... Magnesium, too! Yummy.
This is our car - refuelling to continue our odyssey on the wide open road.
