Peninsula Hot Springs

When we went to check out the hot springs the other day, we met two Slovaks and three Czechs there. It seems to be a popular spot among the countrymen and so we thought we could make it a place to spend a nice Saturday afternoon together. It is a perfect place to relax after week's work or school for children and people of all ages.

We will be meeting at Rye Foreshore Reserve (parking opposite to Rye Pier) for a BBQ lunch at 1pm. Sausages will be provided for a gold coin donation. Please, bring along a cold platter, or a cake to share with others.

Later in the afternoon, we'll be moving to the Peninsula Hot Springs for relaxing baths, spa and sauna. Detailed information about the hot springs and treatments is available at http://www.peninsulahotsprings.com

Snorkelers and Scuba Divers

On a final note, it came to our attention that quite a few Czechs and Slovaks in Melbourne are certified scuba divers or are considering having a shot at it. If you happen to be interested in snorkeling or diving the amazing pier of Rye, drop us a note by replying to this message and we can arrange for a splash earlier in the morning on the hot springs day. Apart from the ever-present puffer fish, sea horses and crabs, a playful baby seal can be regularly seen around the pier, as well as a couple of gentle giant stingrays.
