The woman posted details of her trip on the Facebook group ‘Extreme Day Trips’ where people across the UK share how they take a trip abroad for one day. The woman posted: “Completed another EDT- this time to the Therme spa - Bucharest!

“Had a fab day, got seven hours in the spa which flew! The pina coladas were immense, free massages taking place at the side of the pool and it was not too busy! Will definitely be returning in the summer to take full advantage of the outside space, beach and bars!”.
