Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series - Trying an Irish Seaweed Bath [S1-E25]

Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series - Trying an Irish Seaweed Bath In this episode we continue our adventure exploring the best that Ireland has to offer and our journey along the Wild Atlantic Way in our campervan - Trudy. We drive back from Belfast and arrive in the town of Spiddal before driving North and arriving in the town of Leenaun. As we have toured the Wild Atlantic Way and when asking locals what are the top things to do in Ireland or what are the things we should try - many people have told us that you must try a seaweed bath. In the coastal village of Leenaun, on the Wild Atlantic Way, is the Connemara Seaweed baths so we decided to book a spot. With our tight budget only one of us could do it and so it ended up being me (Chris) . It was a wonderful and relaxing experience. A bath up is filled with locally sourced seaweed then half filled with very hot water. Whilst the hot water is extracting all the goodness from the seaweed you spend 10 minutes relaxing in a steam room. You then add cold water to get the bath to your ideal temperature before submerging yourself, closing your eyes and relaxing. As you relax recordings of waves help you to relax. It was a wonderful experience and then at the end you stand under a cold shower, which was a bit like the ice bucket challenge , much to Marianne's amusement ! The Wild Atlantic Way is one of the longest designated coastal road trips in the world at over 2,500 km long. Our road trip of the Wild Atlantic Way started at the most Northern Point of Ireland - Malin Head and finished all the way at the bottom in the town of Kinsale. The Wild Atlantic way is a road trip of a lifetime and that’s why we just had to do it and produce a travel series of vlogs of our experiences along this magical road. We saw beautiful and dramatic cliffs, stunning beaches, the best sunsets, met lots of lovely people, sung at a shanty festival and saw Ireland at it’s best. If you come to Ireland you must visit the Wild Atlantic Way - even if you can’t do the complete road trip just go and do part of it - absolutely awesome and what a road trip to start off our never ending journey around the Globe. We hope you enjoy this episode of our Wild Atlantic Way Road Trip Vlog Series. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case you don't know us - let us introduce ourselves - we are Chris & Marianne.
