So here I am in the beautiful AlGarve region in Portugal. The area has come to be known as the area where Madeliene McCann went missing back in 2007, and that is all I knew about the region before coming. I have only just arrived so I haven't learnt very much of the town except it is a run-down fishing town which has been redone for British tourist who long for sun, sea and serenity in the summer.
This morning I went for a facial at the spa and am totally in love with the spa here!!! The facilities are so beautiful! There is two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor. Unfortunately, the outdoor is not heated and it is too cold to use but the indoor heated is situated in a glass home so I can't wait to use it.
I wanted to write a quick post to describe the facial because it was just so incredible. It begins by you being told to lie on "warm mud" and throughout this treatment the hot mud bubbles on your back and while this is happening they spray salty sea water on your face so it feels as if you on the beach especially as the sun-rays shine on you. All you can hear is the wind and it is a truly enjoyable experience!
The best time of the day is the evening here. Unlike Ghana where the "evening" time period seems to missing in Portugal it is an extended period of the day where the sky turns pink and the sun shines through. The pink is followed by purple which slowly becomes darker and turns into night.
That's all for now! See you soon :)
