You already know how much time I invest in travel planning and that I don’t regret a single second spent in front of Google because I consider planning to be half the journey. In short, the better the plan, the better the time! However, these days I did something completely unplanned, spontaneous, and quick – and that was a short trip to the Čatež thermal baths!
I had no idea how big the indoor pool area was. I admit, I expected it to be smaller, so I was puffed up even before I entered the pool! Besides being huge, the pool is very cleverly and strategically built. In the big pool (the one for adults), the kids practiced aqua aerobics to the music of Enrique Iglesias (and gave us all a good example to get back to exercise). On the other wing, there are pools for children (larger and smaller). Of course, pools are not “alone”! There are slides for older and slightly older children and a pirate ship for the smallest kids.
Almost no slide is completely ordinary. Some release jets of water, some are very slalom-oriented, and some are just for little, little gigglers. There are attractions for all ages and no matter how old your child is, there’s no way he won’t find a slide for himself! If you have teenagers, don’t leave them at home. For them, there are artificial jets for surfing. Yes, yes, surfing! Who could resist!
And is the water cold? That’s exactly what you often ask me in the inbox!
You also asked me if it’s cold outside and if it’s true that you can’t go without a cloak. My experience was hot! Moreover, at one point it was so hot that we had to go outside for coffee (in the sun, of course). In the middle of the third month, we were frying like lizards, and wearing a bathing suit without a robe. I don’t know what kind of weather will catch you outside, but my advice is not to get confused. As I said, it’s very warm in the thermal baths themselves, especially since they are in glass, and the sun was strong outside, which means that as the spring continues, it will get stronger. However, since spring can be deceptive, it might be better to take a cape anyway, especially when you want a coffee in the sun. Don’t miss it!
