Next stop on our California tour was Napa Valley, home to over 400 wineries. Neither of us are wine people, so why Christopher and Carla headed out to various vineyards for tastings, we explored the local towns. First up was Calistoga. The town is known for its geothermal pools and volcanic ash mud treatments so we headed to Golden Haven Hot Springs to try out our very first mud bath. It was strangely relaxing and disgusting both at the same time.
After we went for a stroll along the town’s Main Street.
The old train depot had been transformed into a brewery and distillery and some train carriages had been turned into restaurants, including a particularly beautiful Mexican restaurant.
