"God, I'm freezing!" Shauna stammered, pulling herself out of the cold plunge pool. "How's that meant to be relaxing!"
Louise, who'd finished wringing water out of her hair, laughed. "It's great for your skin," she explained, pulling a robe on over her bikini and tossing Shauna hers. "And don't worry, it gets better -- next we'll go to the sauna!"
The girls, who'd met at uni, were staying with Louise's family in Bulgaria, where they'd taken a day to visit a well renowned luxury spa. Louise, who'd been before, led Shauna into the sauna's changing room, shrugged off her robe, and hung it up. Shauna copied her, then gasped as she saw her friend nonchalantly untie her bikini.
"What are you doing?" Shauna asked, as Louise bared her boobs before tugging down her bottoms.
"What?" Louise grinned, now completely naked. "We don't wear bathing suits in saunas in Bulgaria.
"Are you sure?" Shauna stammered. The girls had seen each other partially dressed a few times, when trying on dresses before nights out for example, but it was bizarre to see Louise standing there totally nude.
"Of course," Louise tutted, forcefully tugging off Shauna's robe before spinning her round to untie her top. "That sign on the door says "no swimming costumes allowed", trust me."
"Don't I need a towel?" Shauna asked hopefully, eyeing a fresh stack neatly folded on the side as she was stripped naked, but Louise just pulled her straight into the sauna, which was mercifully empty.
"Nope, just your body" Louise insisted, taking a seat on the wooden bench with her arms casually resting out on either side. "This is how we do it in Bulgaria."
