The Finns are renowned for taking Saunas (pr. Sownas) and I took an enjoyable one in our hotel. I gather that it is usual to bake for half an hour before taking a cold shower or jumping into a frozen lake.
Well Dot and I have had comparable climatic experience. We left a very warm Finland, where many people seemed happy to divest their clothes - or most of them, and landed back in one of the coldest winters Australia has had in years. Today's temperature range in Armidale was 3C to 5C, but it felt colder with the strong wind-chill factor. It rained most of the day (but snowed up in Guyra). Still, that's better than Helsinki's Semites -20C in winter, and things will return to normal in the next few days (+15C forecast for Sunday).

It sounds a bit like Austria where you sauna in the nude. Richard.
