TRAVEL

Sometimes you just need to detach from reality and run away to the countryside for a couple of days. This is exactly what my boyfriend, Alex, and I did at the start of November.

Crete is the biggest of the Greek islands, situated in the northeast of the island is the little fishing village of Sisi. With Malia a 12 drive away, and the capital of Heraklion only 40 minutes away it's in a pretty ideal location.

Located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, Elan Cafe has become quite a popular spot for bloggers and influencers alike...as well as those just trying to get the perfect shot for the 'gram. What better location to have lunch with someone I'd never previously met?

When an invitation for a spa day with yoga and afternoon tea popped into my inbox from <a href="https://www.spaseekers.com/" rel="nofollow">Spa Seekers</a>, I obviously couldn't resist. I'd never been to an actual spa before, unless you count turning my bedroom or bathroom into my own personal spa (like in my <a href="https://alicia-smith.co.uk/perfect-valentines-pamper-evening/">The Perfect Valentines Pamper Evening</a> post).

Is it 2018...how? I remember seeing in 2000...I was only 3 but it's my first memory I have. I also remember when 2010 happened and it was scary that we were in double digits...now we are closer to 2020 than 2010.

Now <a href="http://www.mozzarellajoes.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Mozzarella Joes</a> has been located next to the Southsea Rowing Club for several years now but I normally tend to go to one of the huts to grab some fish and chips or cheesy chips

So if you hadn't realised I spent a week of being absent from social media during April, this is because I've been living it up in Croatia...or as we called it Rowatia (since we are rowers and we were in Croatia).
