Fancy taking a seaweed bath? Sligo on Ireland’s West Coast is the place to go!
While I was tricked into this by my wife, I do have to say it was an enjoyable adventure. The experience started with ancient steam box, was followed by a slightly slimy but very relaxing seaweed bath, and ended with a cold seawater shower.
Historical, environmentally friendly and apparently good for you. What’s not to like?
Sligo itself is a pretty coastal town and in my experience has some of the friendliest Bed & Breakfasts Ireland has to offer.

I am a TCK – Third Culture Kid. Born in Canada but grew up in Central and South Asia. My mother, my father and my wife are from three different countries. As an adult I have lived and worked on three different continents.
My life thus far has been an adventure. It can also be confusing. Sometimes I write to reflect on the past, sometimes to try to make sense of the present.
I am a teacher, husband and father. I teach Design & Technology at a high school in the UK and think that everyone would benefit from learning more practical skills, myself included.
I am passionate about faith and about people. I love learning about history. I love to travel and to meet new people and explore different cultures. And the more I explore the more I want to catch a glimpse of the other side of the mountains…

My father was from Sligo. But he never mentioned the seaweed.

Maybe, but he really didn’t tell us much at all. Looks like you had a great time.

Ireland always delivers. One way or another. I swear I’ll give this a try when I’m there. Whenever that may be.

It’s been my dream since I met my first Irish person I believe, so before I was born. Well, I’m in a transitional stage now anyway, so I might just relocate to Ireland in the end. The world is my oyster now. For the time being.

Surprised you didn’t sample some seaweed to eat! Apparently, it’s very good for you on the inside as well as the outside!
