Yesterday I returned from a short trip. It was actually nice, even though I just accompanied my mom since dad declined to come with her for health reasons.
The hotel was directly near some interesting photo spots and was wellness focused: whirlpools, sauna, spa. Due to the shortness of our stay, there was no time for massages - but surprisingly, the water worked very well for my body. It's naturally high in salt in that region, so it also helped with easier breathing. I even tried a steam sauna, even though that felt terrifying at first - but it was good. I really miss those things and I think I should look into local options for pools & saunas.
Today was a pretty chill day to relax, except some online shopping (Black Friday, but unfortunately no shaving related sales). Next week it's back to early shifts, but at least only at my usual workplace. All my external internships are done, which is good since I don't need any additional stress before the exams next year.
Stay safe & have a fun weekend โ๐ป
Sounds like a relaxing trip! I experienced my first sauna ceremony this summer at a spa in Berlin and it was very intense and very rejuvenating.
I should find something like that near us.
It was a good mix - Wednesday was full-on sightseeing, but visiting the spa area in the early evening was very comforting after being in motion all day.
I can relate, the steam sauna was surprisingly good for my neck & shoulder tension. I definitely want to find something similar closer to me and I recommend you do the same. Wellness is beneficial for the whole body and mind ๐๐ป
