Bom Dia!
Speaking a little Portugese today due to my new beach BFF – Frescobol Carioca!
Please tell me that it’s not just me, who packs so much clothes and so many pairs of shoes to take on holidays, but end up wearing the 3 or 4 things that you had no idea would literally wear ALL the time? If, prior to my packing I was asked to do a blog post about the 3 main things I wouldn’t survive without on my vacation – you’d be seeing a very boring post with razors and make-up. But to my surprise, make-up is the last thing on my mind here, (I am self-conscious about my acne scars) and so far, for the last 6 days, I hadn’t left the hotel room without my Nike tote, Triangl bikini & my amazing linen Frescobol Carioca towel. Well, the Nike sliders are now part of my feet, so they don’t count. Read about them in my previous post here.
There was instant love between the striped Frescobol Carioca (“The Brazilian”) and I. “He” arrived 2 weeks ago in a sleek black magnetic box with his own little branded bag (for when he’s wet after the beach) and once all folded into his little case, he fits into any bag – size does matter when we’re travelling! 😉 But with a whopping 175 x 140cm unfolded and laid on the sand or the poolside sun bed – Carioca is the most huggable and softest beach linen towels you’ll ever lie on… Yes, I am talking about a linen Brazilian towel, you dirty thing! 😉
Beach bags – who is going to travel all the way from Scotland with a structured straw tote for a week? Not me! That’s why the sporty version of a beach bag, which I can then use as my gym bag, and trust me, gym is what my body needs after all those churros and tortilla. If I carry on like this – the idea of the Triangl Bikini top acting as a boob tube will have to be abandoned and replaced with “his” shirt instead… But we’re on holidays and this means lotsvof Sunshine, Food, Wine (me), Family Fun at Aqua parks (little star), Sandy feet (and everything else), lazy poolside naps (him), sunbathing (only me) & letting my other better half do all the talking (he’s Spanish) whilst I do all of the above!
Big Love from Spain and Happy Friday! xxx
