She said they all beleived it kept them young. It was a truly beautiful location, not even on any map we could find, we just found it by accident..and if we had just stayed by the pool, we would have missed experiencing summats like that.
That's the sort of thing I like to do as well. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing I like better than relaxing on a lounger on the beach with a good book (as long as I have a sunshade of some kind - being Scottish and very pale, I don't do tanning!), but I'd get bored doing that all the time. I like to go off and explore the area I'm in and meet the locals.
