Tuesday

The view was hidden by sea mist on Sunday but today it seemed a clear and glorious day.. As we drove back to Mirleft a single swallow flew past. This was our day for the Hallam at Mina's. We were handed paper thongs and invited to strip off  and lie on the hot slab. A firm abrasive mitt is used to peel off the top layer of dead  skin. Our masseuse was also shipped down to bikini bottoms so we didn't mind seeing her body, like ours, with rolls of fat. After about an hour in the Hammam we are wrapped in a towel and invited to cool off in the sitting area with peach tea. Another woman did the massage ...lots of pummeling and prodding! It was a very good two hours and I highly recommend Mina's. 

On the way home we saw an osprey feeding on a fish on the top of a pylon.

Later I walked along the beach.
