today it's -10 degrees, and we're talking middle of the day temp here. Did i mention there is actually an icicle about a foot long hanging from the guttering? just the one mind.
To unwind after that really big cross-country skiing expedition yesterday we went to the swimming pool/bath/spa place in the resort. Basically just floated around in warm water with different bubbles and pools and stuff for a couple of hours. There weren't any really warm spa pools... but there were saunas! a whole saunamaailma even. Went in a few different saunas including a beautiful löylysauna where the room was made of stone and there was just one warm light coming from under the floor in the centre. Also a savusauna (smoke sauna) which u had to go outside (in a bikini in minus 5 degree weather with snow everywhere when you're already wet from swimming so extra cold) to get to. It wasn't very smoky at all but someone kept making löylyä (where u throw water on the rocks) and löylyä and löylyä... and löylyä... and vielä löylyä until it got sooo so hot that i went and jumped in the lake. Must say i didn't notice the cold on my way back inside...
Today we were going to go horseriding on some sort of small icelandic ponies (?!?!!) but it's not open as it's JOULU!!
siis rauhallista ja loistavaa joulua teille kaikille!! (the whole two of you that read this blog :p)
