Ice swimming!

My back and neck have been very bad already for some weeks. Gym, stretching and painkillers barely keep the situation under control. Luckily, I managed to finish all my deadlines yesterday and went immediately to heal my body with traditional way: ice swimming.


The place was Kaupinojan Sauna, on the shore of the beautiful Näsijärvi (Tampere). Sauna and the hole in the ice are open for all (entrance fee 8 €) every day. Due to the sunny weather with some + Celcius degrees, place was quite crowded, but luckily sauna was super hot to circulate the people effectively. After four sauna-swimming sessions, followed by cold beer, I felt much better. So please take the advantage and heal yourself with Finnish way without any drugs :)

Moved to Tampere

I moved to Tampere, after spending some 10 years away... Lohja gave me a great farewell gift - bought new Safari Termo boots from Prisma with 14€. The first thing to do in Tampere is naturally to reunite with lake Höytämöjärvi. Big perches and angry pikes were there still.


Yeah, these are my new boots. Actually third pair ongoing in this life.

// Muutin Tampereelle 10 vuoden poissaolon jälkeen. Lohjan Prisma antoi hyvät läksiäislahjat, ostin sieltä 14 eurolla uudet Safari Termo saappaat. Tampereella tehdään tietysti heti kuten Kekkonen, eli mennään kalaan Höytämöjärvelle.
