More pampering

More packing boxes, carefully wrapping precious items, whilst stopping to reminise over some of the  treasures so Rebecca booked a lovely treat for us at the Diamante Hotel in Calpe

A wonderful spa session

The main pool is really large, one of the biggest we have found so far and the water was sooo warm, like stepping into a bath, it was heaven, especially as I have been in so much pain with the fibromyalgia lately.

It was so relaxing and the ability to move around and swim in the warm water was very theraputic for me.

There were four whirl pools of varying temperatures to choose from and five different showers.

Some were freezing jets of water, I missed those out!!, others fine needle like jets, they stung! and just very warm water to cascade down on you, like the tropical rain shower.

This one had jets of warmish water at different heights and as you walked along they squirted at your ankles, knees, hips, quite powerfully, but not to hurt

There was a sauna, which I know from previous experience, doesn´t work for me and leaves me feeling quite unwell, a Turkish room, very dry, and a Thermal one, but I was quite happy floating along in the main pool while Rebecca tried them out.

I was able to swim very slowly and gently up and down giving a sense of achievement with active exercise. On a bad day even the soles of my feet hurt so this was ideal.

For the first 20 minutes there were one other couple but from the on we were on our own and we stayed for 90 minutes instead of the supposed 60, no one queried so we stayed.

A couple of things I totally avoided, like the freezing plunge pool and the ice scrub, I know they are supposed to help, like finishing of your morning shower by turning the hot water off, but I was there to enjoy not punish lol

Soft soothing music played thoughout and there were refreshing jugs of flavoured water to indulge in.

A detox, ginger, lemon and honey, digestive, mint, lemon and cinnamon, antioxident of lime and red berries. I think I enjoyed the detox one best.

We were given complimentry vouchers for a mojito cocktail afterwards

so after changing etc we set off to claim ours. I really don´t go in for spirits but this was really nice and as half the glass was ice it diluted it nicely. All this for 20 euros and if you booked for 5 sessions it reduced the price to just over 11 euros. Hmmm definately have to give that some serious consideration.

It was so quiet every where, complete contrast to the ´season´when its manic

We headed off to the beach front for a lunch of baby squid and grilled salmon, whilst watching the waves rolling in, then headed home where it was neighbours night at Maria´s restaurant.

By this time we were so chilled out we were practically horizontal and falling asleep.

What a fabulous day with my beautiful daughter, it will be so tough when she goes.

Whilst I am excited for her on this new adventure and part of her life , it will be such a rench, so I shall just have to jet off to see her.

take care
