Swimming with the Fishes!

The one time I don’t bring my bathing suit on vacation, I could have went to the Beer Spa in Prague! Just my luck! This is now on the bucket list, so stay tuned!

So as I was researching unique things to do in Prague, I walked past a spa that offered fish pedicures. I’d heard about them but had never been to a spa that offered them. I was hesitant – I’d heard the safety concerns about them but my curiosity won out. And I am so glad it did!

Sophia and I headed to the spa and the first thing our attendant did was clean our feet and disinfect them. We put on slippers and headed to the tank. We shimmied our way onto the seats and slowly put our feet into the tank.

Immediately, the fish surrounded our feet! Sophia started giggling hysterically as the fish were ticklish! I could get by the feeling, but since my feet were “worse” than Sophia’s, the amount of fish “on” my feet and legs was a little overwhelming. I chose not to look very often during the 25 minute treatment.

Once done, I’m not sure this treatment was any better than a regular pedicure with normal scrubbing, but it is definitely an experience!

But back at the hotel, I made sure that we applied some Neosporin liberally to our feet, as the public health professional in me could not be too careful!
