Ma olen aastaid suur Saaremaa fänn olnud ja kui sõbrantsid rääkisid, et korraldavad siin ühte Emmede Klubi üritust, siis mõtlesin, et ongi paras aeg uuesti Kuressaarde tulla, viimati sai alles suvel käidud, kui Merepäevad olid. Tallinnas oli külm ja tuuline, aga Saaremaal ootas meid soe päike ja tõeline kevad. Esimese päeva ja öö veetsime Arensburgis, viimased kaks Johan Spas. Tõeline blogijaelu, et ikka võimalikult palju läbi testida, eksole.
Arensburgi kohta kuulsin enne, et hommikusöök pole hea ja spa-osa on täitsa mõttetu. Noh, ma ei tea, spa osas on bassein+mullikas. Mulle endale rohkem vaja pole ja kahe lapsega ongi nii kergem, kui neil pole sada kohta, kuhu joosta, vaid on kenasti silma all. Näiteks Pärnus Vikingus on mega äge spa osa, aga Mari oli lihtsalt 90% ajast kadunud, sest seal oli nii palju ägedaid peidukaid. Ühesõnaga mina jäin sellega rahule, ehk suurematel lastel oleks juba igav, aga Marile ja Lendele piisas täiesti.
Hommikusöökide kohta on mul raske kommentaare anda, sest mul on iga hommik nii paha, et pooled asjad tunduvad lihtsalt täiesti söödamatud. Kardo sai aga igatahes kõhu täis, lapsed samuti. Mis minu jaoks oli väga suureks boonuseks – sealsamas oli ka lastele väike mängutuba, et vanemad saaksid rahus vähemalt tassi kohvi ära juua, mitte ei peaks lastega minema kiirustama. Ausalt selline lahendus võiks olla igas spas!
Arensburgis oli meil kaks omavahel ühendatud tuba, päris mugav oli lapsed ühte tuppa panna ja teises ise veel telekat vaadata. St OLEKS olnud mugav, ma jäin muidugi lastega koos magama :D / In Arensburg we had joining rooms. It’s very convenient to put the kids down in one room and watch TV in the other. I mean it WOULD HAVE BEEN convenient, I fell asleep with the kids, of course :D
Ma vannun, et kui ma kunagi kaduma peaks, siis te leiate mu Värska pudelite raja järgi. Kodu on neid täis ja kõik hotellid, kus me iial öööbinud oleme, võivad ka kinnitada, et meie numbrituba kubiseb tühjadest Värskapudelitest. / I swear that if I ever go missing you can find me by following the trail of Värska bottles. Out house is filled with them an every single hotel we have ever stayed at can testify to our room being filled with Värska bottles as well.
Laste põhitegevus – voodis müramine. / Main entertainment for the kids – palying on the bed.
Lende jäi kõhukotis magama ja ei ärganud ka sealt välja võtmisele, ega ka lahtiriietumise peale. See laps on ikka tõeline unekott! / Lende fell asleep in the carrying bad and didn’t wake up when we took her out of it or when we took her clothes off. This child can sleep for days!
Ma vahel ikka mõtlen, et kus mul on alles lastega vedanud. Üks on selline tõsine elunautija: sööb, magab, mängib. Tõsine, vaoshoitud ja viisakas, kogu aeg korrutab aitäh ja on muidu asjalik. Ja siis teine, kes on nagu mingi elav rõõmupall. Hommikul kohe hakkab heliseva häälega kilkama: “Äratuuus! Päike tõusis üles!” ja muudkui naerab ja laulab ja tantsib ja mängib oma õega ja noh, mõnikord harva tuleb jonn ka peale, aga see on nii korraks ja ta on mul lihtsalt nii sõnakuulelik ja tubli, et mina ei tea, kuidas need lapsed mul nii ideaalsed välja kukkusid, arvestades, millised nende vanemad on :D / Sometimes I think about how lucky I got with my kids. One of them is a serious enjoyer of life: eats, sleeps and plays. Serious, reserved and polite. Always says thank you and is otherwise efficient. And then the other one, who is like a ball of joy. First thing in the morning starts shrieking “Waaaaake uuuuuuup! The Sul is already up!” and keeps laughing and singing and dancing and playing with her sister and well, sometimes she has tantrums as well, but those are just for a minute and I have the most well behaved and awesome child that I don’t know how the kids turned out so perfect with parents like theirs :D
Eile tulime siis Johanisse ja no siin on NII MUGAV VOODI ja isegi see pole miinus, et kaht eraldi tuba pole. Eile jäid lapsed magama ja meie vaatasime veel rahulikult filmi ja rääkisime juttu. Spa osa on samamoodi – bassein ja mullivann. Olime eile ainukesed basseinis ja Mari kilkas seal nagu metsaline. Täna massaažis käies sain aru, et kõik mis spas toimub on protseduuritubadesse megahästi kosta, seega ma palvetan, et seal eile kedagi ei olnud, kui me ujumas käisime :D
Elurõõmus rüblik Johanis hullamas. Lastel vedas mõlemal korral – olime bassus ainsad! / Johanna full of joy having fun. The kids got lucky both times – we were the only ones in the pool.
Mõtleb elu üle järele. / Contemplating life.
Vana hea Lende :D / Good old Lende :D
Lebokuninganna. / Queen of laying around
Tsauki-tsau! / Hey-Hey!
Lisaks kõigele on Lende selline kaisukas, kogu aeg tuleb ronib sülle ja lihtsalt lamab niimoodi, pea õlal. / On top of everything Lende is also a cuddler, climbs into your lap and just lays on your shoulder like that.
Sai ise ka basseinis seista :D / Could stand in the pool herself :D
Johanis ootas meid selline puuviljavaagen. Rasedus ja värsked asjad – ma ahmisin selle sisse nagu näljahädaline :D / At Johan a fruit platter was waiting for me. Pregnancy and anything fresh – I inhaled this whole thing like it was famine :D
Tuba Johanis, toas on lisaks suurele voodile lahtikäiv diivan mudilastele. / Our room at Johan. In addition to the big bed there is a pull-out couch for the little ones.
Aga okei, Mari tuleb kohe ujumast tagasi ja Lende hakkab vaikselt virguma, seega ei ole aega rohkem siin arvutis konutada. Saaremaal on ilus ilm, lähme otsime parem mingi hea koha, kus lõunatada. Chamelion on muidu päris hea, sest seal on suur lastetuba, aga ehk leiame veel midagi sama head! Kas Kuressaares mängutubasid ka on?
Ps! Minust pole ühtegi pilti, sest mu nägu meenutab puberteedieas noore neiu oma, kuid on samas nii kuiv, et teisalt olen nagu 90 aastane mutt. Kirsiks tordil on mul huulel ja NINA OTSAS lahkunud ohatise mälestuseks jäetud kärnad. Iga päev palvetan, et keegi mind ära ei tunneks :D
I have been a huge Saaremaa fan for years and when my friends told me they are organizing a Emmede Klubi (Mommy Club) event I thought it’s the perfect time to return to Kuressaare, the last time I was here was durin Merepäevad (Sea Days) last summer. It was cold and windy in Tallinn but warm sun and true spring were waiting for us in Saaremaa. We spent the first night in Arensburg and the last two in Johan Spa. True blogger life, have to test as many things as possible, am I right.
The information I had heard about Arensburg was that the breakfast is not good and the SPA is completely pointless. Well, I don’t know, the spa there had a pool+Jacuzzi. I personally don’t need more and it’s easier with two kids anyway – they don’t have any places to run and they stay in the line of sight. For example in Pärnu Viking has an awesome spa but Mari was missing like 90% of the time, because there were so many cool places to hide. In short I was happy with it, maybe bigger kids would get bored, but it was plenty for Mari and Lende.
It’s difficult for me to comment on the breakfast, because I heel so sick every morning, that half the things seem uneatable. Kardo’s stomach was filled and so did the kids’. A huge bonus for me was the little playroom they have, so the parents can at least have a cup of coffee in peace and wouldn’t have to rush away with the kids. Honestly, this should be at every Spa!
Yesterday we moved to Johan and the bed here is SO COMFORTABLE that not having two rooms is irrelevant. Yesterday when the kids fell asleep we watched a movie and talked. Spa is pretty much the same – a pool and a Jacuzzi. We were the only ones in the pool and Mari kept screaming like an animal. Today, while I was getting a massage, I realized how well you can hear everything going on outside, so I pray no one was getting their massage while we were in the pool :D
But OK, Mari will return from swimming any minute and Lende is waking up, so I don’t have any more time to spend on the computer. The weather here is beautiful, we are on our way to find a nice place to eat. Chamelion is pretty good, because they have a huge playroom, but maybe we can find something else as good! Are there any playrooms in Kuressaare?
PS! There are no pictures of me, because my face looks like a teenagers, but at the same time it’s as dry as a 90 year old woman. On top of that there are blisters on my lips and on the TOP OF MY NOSE from having cold sores. I pray every day that no one recognizes me :D
