EAST ANGLIAN DAILY TIMES
|
Our room had a magnificent view overlooking the harbour. My favourite feature was the giant copper bath situated in the middle, accompanied by oils, and soaps. I remember thinking to myself at the time: “If this doesn’t chill-me-out then nothing will”. In combination with our hotel stay, I had also arranged a surprise sailing trip with Viking Mariners, based next to the Salthouse. As I had never been sailing before I thought it would be a really enjoyable and relaxing experience for the both of us. Upon boarding the catamaran boat, called Alchemy, I realised that all thoughts about work had entirely cleared away. Our skipper Lee was very friendly and reassuring and after setting sail, I could not believe how peaceful the Suffolk scenery really was, and to top it all, I was even allowed to sail the boat myself. After around three hours of cruising down the River Orwell, enjoying a glass of wine and lots of delicious treats along the way, I recognised my mission to unwind had been an overwhelming success, hence me not having one single thought concerning my business. After enjoying my experience so much I was delighted to find out that they also offer corporate days out, birthday parties plus one I am particularly interested in, “a spa day on the river”. In writing this article I am not suggesting that taking a simple sailing trip down the River Orwell on a Saturday afternoon is the ultimate cure for “burnout”. However, what I did discover is that, just by getting away from it all, even just for a short period of time over the weekend, can seriously improve your health.
