Halloween

Halloween afternoon we went here: Rheinfall.  Halloween evening we went to Bora Sauna in Germany.  They had a Halloween special.  We did 5 different types of sauna:

  • A normal one for 20 minutes
  • “Chainsaw” 4 guys come in wearing hockey masks, one with a toy chainsaw.  They cut off the head of the “tall” guy which turns out to be a block of ice.  They throw the ice on the stones.  Then they wave towels.  That makes it VERY hot.
  • “Snowstorm”  Safety goggles.  Snowblower with soap bubbles.  More towel waving.  Salt rubbed into skin.  Flogging with wet birch twigs.
  • “Halloween Story”  More towel waving.
  • Midnight sauna - Guys in witch hats, more towel waving  Probably the hottest one.

I went into the adjacent 10 °C lake 4 times more than I said I was going to.  (I originally said I wasn’t going in at all.)  I went in after each sauna except the last one.
