Escapodyssey - Adventures in Travel: Recent Episodes
Dawn and Geoff Spink
A podcast for anyone who loves to escape from the everyday to enjoy relaxation, good living and sometimes adventure. Presented by Geoff and Dawn Spink
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode we explore a different type of escape – one that doesn't always require travel: we‘re talking about spas and why people visit them and what they get from their visit. Is it about mind, body or both?
We give some historical context and visit one of the oldest spas in the UK – the Roman Baths in the city of Bath.
We also talk about an Etruscan spa that dates back 7000 years.
To get the inside track on what really makes spas work, we talk to an expert – Alex Hurt, who runs the Weavers’ House Spa in Lavenham, Suffolk

In this episode, we travel north from our base in Le Marche for a day trip to the micro state of San Marino. It's in fact, the world's oldest, existing sovereign state, and its oldest constitutional republic. How has it managed to survive in tact during almost two thousand years of European conflicts?

In this episode, Geoff and Dawn visit the lesser known Italian region of Le Marche. It's not so popular with tourist but it certainly found favour with Mr. & Mrs. Spink. Enjoy historic hilltop towns and dining out al fresco.
