Healthy eating, sessions in the sauna . . . with the best of intentions, Jeff Kavanagh heads for the island of Amrum for a "wellness" weekend. Our moustached, sailor-suited waiter, Anton, was hovering impatiently beside our table; I'd managed to order a drink, but deciding between the frikadelle (meat pattie) and the pea-and-bacon soup was taking a bit of time. My indecision was fuelled by the fact that my girlfriend and I were on board a ferry headed towards the German island of Amrum for a "wellness" weekend of healthy eating, brisk walks, and sessions in the sauna. Unfortunately, the ferry's menu, with its goulash soup and nordseekrabbensalat (shrimp cocktail), wasn't overly conducive to our healthy intentions. Eventually, I went for the soup.
