As part of the deal with our hotel, we were given a free dual treatment at the hotel spa. Those of you who know me well will know that I enjoy a good massage, but am not particularly beauty-minded. Graham, on the other hand, had no interest in spas or massages, so it was with great effort that I finally managed to bully him to the spa for our treatments.
All was going well until they recommended that we needed to be naked for this experience. After sharing identical looks of horror, we eventually acquiesced and hid under the plethora of towels. We were then told that we would be taken on a spiritual journey from head to toe to make sure all our energies were running in the right direction. Now, I may not have been paying attention, but I don’t remember being told about energy channels running through my body at med school. G looked frankly horrified and I promised myself I would nod and look serious and definitely not for any reason suggest that my energy channels did not exist.
The treatment was actually fabulous, not least because I fell asleep. I’m not sure I buy all the ‘energy channels’ and aromatherapy stuff that goes with it, but I certainly enjoyed myself. The rest of the day disappeared in a haze, but I think we wandered around Port and ordered curry for dinner.
