Other than the hot soak and great nature walks, my favorite thing at Papallacta was the use of a hair dryer. It was the first place I have stayed in weeks where I could actually blow my hair dry. I’ve slowly gotten rid of extra weight in my suitcase along the way and I’m down to pretty much using sunscreen & bug spray for makeup and skin conditioner, no hair products, washing my clothes in the sink, and hoping they will at least be close to dry by the next morning. Trying to find that perfect balance between a life of simplicity and those creature comforts I still love.
