Jigna's Bachelorette weekend was absolutely fabulous--everyone was relaxed, happy and there weren't any dramas at all. Friday evening, we arrived for a late dinner at a "casual upscale" French tapas restaurant called Fiction, in the Kits district. The food was just incredible, a pleasant surprise considering I just picked it out last minute. Saturday was our spa day---we all got wonderful spa treatments at the Miraj Hammam Spa, a Middle Eastern inspired spa. We all got the traditional hammam and gommage treatment, involving an invigorating steam treatment followed by an exfoliation. Relaxing in the Soltana Lounge, sipping tea and munching on baklava was a perfect ending to this amazing spa experience. In the evening, after shopping on Robson a bit, we had our obligatory dinner at Jigna's favorite restaurant, Vij's...fabulous as always. If you ever go there, you must try the wine marinated lamb popsickles in fenugreek cream curry with tumeric spinach potatoes: it's to die for and my absolute favorite. After dinner, we headed to the much too-hyped Skybar off of Granville Street for some late night dancing to old school hip hop. Sunday involved a brunch on Granville Island where we bid adieu to some of the women who had to go back early. I ended the weekend sitting on Kitsilano Beach with Asayo and Jigna, followed by an Italian dinner before heading home. All in all, it was a rather tame weekend as far as bachelorette parties go. We had a few dares for Jigna to do but it was all in good fun and nothing raunchy at all. Yay!
