Hi, Luigi and Megan, Yes this place is very scenic just now, have had some beautiful sunny days and some very heavy thunderstorms all mixed in. Completed a nice little hike today and must say the setting is just great for relaxing.It reminds me of Snowdonia National Park in Wales for those that know it.

Just to update you regarding the Radium Palace, I have found it to be very efficiently run, very clean and accomodating. Don't like the food at all, I am currently NSD and it very difficult here, I suppose for those who aren't NSD it would be ok, its certainly not what I am used to but I am getting by. The hotel is full of all different nationalities, Russian, German, Czechs and Arabs, I think Im the only English guest and although the language barrier is difficult at times it is generally easy enough to get by. Everywhere is signposted in about five different languages and the Doctors speak English just fine.

The fact that this place has free wifi is great it allows me to keep up to date with family, friends and work. The swimmimg pool and sauna/ steam bath are a great facility, I have been using them daily. The radon baths felt a bit wierd at first, I think we English are similiar to you Yanks in that we don't usually strip off naked in front of just anyone but I'm used to it now, my modesty has gone out of the window and I don't care. I haven't really felt any effects yet, however it is still early days.

I will try to keep you updated as the days progress but if anyone has specific questions please ask and I will try to answer as best I can.

Regards
Gumshoe
