Fishy Pedicure

Realise that I am unlikely to get to the place in Turkey where the fish nibble away at your feet so decided to go here and actually went to Rose Hill with my GF.
One of the people working there was Turkish so I think that is as Turkish as it will get.
Anyway we arrived and had our feet washed not for out benefit but for the fish.  They don't like cream or dirt or normal water.
We sat on a little bench and gingerly put our feet in the water with the fish aarg.
So it was weird but not too weird unless you looked at all these little fish nibbling away at your toes and heels and all of your feet.  They don't have teeth so can't hurt you but it is a strange sensation to have all these fish in the water with you.  The water is not too warm as it has to be the right temperature for the fish not you but I would have liked it to be warmer. We stayed there for half an hour and the fish had made a good job of most of the hard skin as well as your cuticles.  I think I would have liked a bit more care as it would have been easy for the therapist to have got rid of your remaining hard skin with very little effort.
The fish apparently have something in their saliva like hand cream to soften your feet too so no more treatment other than a dry off.
Quite fun, quite mad may go again sometime but pretty expensive for what it was.
