Turkish Baths

To cure our hangovers Natalie, Michelle and I went trekked out to Portobello to try out the Turkish Baths. It was only six pounds and definitely worth it.


It is a whole process. First you have to take a cold shower. Then you go into the steam room, which is way better than a sauna. The steam room was nearly unbearable and you're supposed to stay in for 6 to 14 minutes. We could only do 6. Then you go into the plunge pool, which feels so good. The last step makes you just fall into it. Then there are three separate relaxing rooms that all continuously get hotter, the tepedarium is the first and the calederium is the last. Then you just repeat the process as much as you want. It's supposed to help cleanse your pores. It made me feel great. We all felt very European. Our turkish bath pass also allowed us to swim in their indoor pool which was nice.
