A piece of heaven

Although not being directly related with Shanghai I believe it’s worthy to write about it…yesterday I had one of the best days I can remember…it started with a breakfast at Sheraton Porto – Hotel & SPA with one of the most attractive women I know…oh! I nearly forgot…FC Porto team, the European and World Champions in title were also there…then I went to the SPA centre [now you start to understand the title of this post]…

…choosing the right massage wasn’t an easy task…but after a while and with technical support I managed to decide…for the Full Body Relaxing Treatment with aromatherapy – 1h50 minutes in paradise…I scheduled to 5 pm letting me with 6 hours to enjoy the rest of the equipments…

…I started with the vitality pool a Jacuzzi with 5 different treatments…cannons of water, water cascade, bed and bench of bubbles…an incredible experience as you may imagine…followed by an intensive swimming in the pool…in order to get really tired to fully enjoy the relaxing zone - hot beds with remote control allowing to choose the best position to relax…

…I spent the rest of the time before lunch in the Sauna and the Hamman [Turkish bath], a very “hot” experience…I lunched in the Juice Bar [an amazing salmon sandwich, a natural orange juice and a tropical fruit salad] I was only using a robe and my bath suit …a very posh picture…

…afterwards I continued my heat experience with the 3 saunas treatments - arranged by heat, aroma and humidity…followed by a cold water douche and a deserved rest in the relaxing room…when I was waiting for the therapist I read several magazines and I’m now sure that men should read more woman’s magazines…we can learn lots of “interesting” things…and they will appreciate…

…I don’t know how to express what I felt during the massage…or which part I preferred…I only I can say that I recommend you vividly to do the same…that was my "piece of heaven"…believe or not I already know that in my next girlfriend birthday I will offer her a full day in the double suite - specially prepared for treatments which take a holistic approach - an immersion bath with aromatic oils and rose petals followed by two full body massages…you can imagine who will be the second person…it can me quite romantic and all the rest…you know what I mean…

…the day at Sheraton Hotel finished with a hot chocolate and a toast…I spend 9 hours and 95.00 € [not much for "cloud nine"]…I look forward to experience the Asian SPAs [hopefully they will be cheaper]…Thailand here I come [I’m sure C+D understand]…and next massage will be the hot stones one…
