ð Wild Dolphin watching in The Algarve ðµð¹
Yesterday we took a boat trip out with Wildwatch Algarve and it was nothing short of amazing!! I would definitely recommend this to anyoneð€©
Main take away points:
1. Many facts about dolphins ð€
2. My mum doesnât like boats ð€ŠðŒââïžð€£ (see video evidence above)
We were on board with a marine biologist and managed to see 2 different species of dolphin and some babies ð¥ºð¬ From start to finish the staff were so lovely and super super knowledgable!!
Our trip was over 2 hours long and included 1.5 hours out at sea followed by a refreshments back at the store where they showed us a presentation of the trip with go pro footage - even better the footage is included in the trip and will be emailed to us soon!! ðž
They have a colour coordinated map in the store which shows you where they have seen different species before - some people have even seen orcas and turtle species this season ð¯ð¢
The trip is amazing value for money, costing only 45⬠eachð° and you can tell everyone there is really passionate about what they do ðð¬ð

ð Come with us to Murrayfield ððŽó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó Žó ¿
We had a fab day in Edinburgh yesterday with some friends to watch Scotland v Italy at Murrayfield!
Followed by some drinks and then food at El Cartel Teviot - Highly recommend ð€©
Personal favourites were the pork carnitas tacos and the croquetas - both got a 10/10 for me!
We also all had the la passionada frozen cocktail which was rum based and it was amazing! Could easily have drank them all night (thankfully I did notð
)
Overall, great day with a fab result for the Scotland squad ðŽó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó Žó ¿ð
ðCome with us to The Hilton Aberdeen TECA ðŽó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó Žó ¿
This beautiful hotel is situated right next to the P&J Live concert venue!ðµ
It has 200 rooms ranging from king and queen guest rooms up to suites - both featured in this video!
There is also an executive lounge which you can access if booked into an executive room or are a diamond Hilton member (via the Hilton rewards scheme)
Executive lounge has a 3 hour period each evening where you receive drinks and snacks made by the host! ðž
Executive rooms are an extra supplement to book however they do come with the lounge access, breakfast and robes and slippers in your room so definitely worth it for a bit of extra luxury! ð€©
The hotel in general has a real luxury feel to it, especially the spa areas! ð§ðœââïž
Guests have access to the pool and gym area included in their stay.
The pool is open from 6am - 10pm with dedicated childrenâs swim times between 7am-12 pm and 4pm - 8pm ðââïž

They have a special family summer offer on at the moment -

It is also pet friendly ð¶ð¶ð¶ at a small supplement to the cost of your room! Brilliant way to head away for the weekend and take your furbabies with you ð€

Sandman Signature UK

All the rooms had such a luxurious feel with king size beds in every roomâŠall the rooms had fridges in and âŠ.even microwaves!!! (apparently this is a Canadian thing ðšðŠ)

They provide all spa treatments and also specialist services for people receiving oncology treatments or those with additional support needs. Lots of new treatments coming soon so keep an eye out - Liam the spa manager was so lovely and I will definitely be booking in for a treatment soon!
ð Function Suites
- these can hold large wedding parties all the way down to small business meetings and even private dining opportunities.
The large function room had its own personal bar which I think is fab!
The smaller rooms are perfect for group dining to give a more personal experience and would be fab for any hen parties/baby showers too!
