I want to be in Rio
It’s been a busy last couple of days. Yesterday Mrs H and I went to the gym again, followed by the sauna. It was the first time we had tried the sauna at the gym, and we were impressed. There are 4 saunas, 100°c, 90°c, 75°c and 55°c, of which we tried the 2 lowest temp ones. There is also a swimming pool, solarium, massage, steam room, a couple of whirlpools, snack bar and a nice relaxing area. We will be using this facility a lot more often.In the afternoon was the Marburg Karneval parade, so we went down town with some friends to watch it. After 12 years of not going to Karneval, I finally relented and went (I’m not counting when I went to Rio many years ago for the Carnival). The Juniorette was dressed as a cowgirl, shouted Helau at every opportunity, and came home with a massive bag of sweets. All I can say is that I had a totally different experience when I was in Brazil.

Tell us, did you wear a costume?
Yet another Faschingsmuffel? Speaking of Rio. I was talking to a guy at work last night. We both agreed that Fasching should be a purely Southern Hemisphere thing.
That picture is fabulous! It does funny things to my eyeballs in a totally good way!
Ahhh, the Juniorette made you do it :-)
Hehe- seems like she's got you where she wants you. Hey look, I know these things. I'm a daddy's little girl, too (even though I'm 40).
J - Yes, I was dressed as a grumpy Englishman :)
Just Another - I believe I am Faschingsmuffel (great word). The Southern Hemisphere seems to do this much better!
Ms Mac - The picture make me feel wierd if I look at it for too long :)
Canadianswiss - I'm slowly realising the Juniorette can wind me round her little finger :)
i saw the carnivals on TV, they were the most organised carnivals i have ever seen. A bit cold for that kind of carry on isn't it?
haddock, funny, when I was asked what my costume was today at work (the Carnival Idiots were still out in force), I told them a happy American.
I want your gym! I feel sure here in cash-deprived former east germany that their idea of a 'sauna' is a muddy part of the Elbe on a non-snowy day.
That pic kind of spooks me a bit. Perhaps it's that feeling of movement that zooms in on the clown's face and being lost in a large crowd.
Or maybe it's just a flashback to Stephen King's "It." I dunno.
Your a wimp. Non of those saunas was hot enough. A real Finn wouldn't be caught dead in them. They aren't real saunas anyway. You have to have rocks to throw water on and no control of the temperature for a real sauna. Those puny imitations make me sick.
You also need an ice cold lake to jump into when you come out ar at least snow to roll in.
Well I am glad you got to the parade.
Uhm that sounds like a real wellness center to me - we are going to visit one of those soon. I have heard that some of the places they have a mother-to-be massage thingy - I would love to check that out.
I think I would stay away at least from the 100C sauna too !
Hello mate,
I thought that photo of the clown was you and I thought what the hell has the gym done to him.
It's cold here but maybe as not as cold as it is there!
Take care
Bye!

Lydia - Carnival should be held in the warmth where your hand doesn't freeze to the beer bottle! :)
Viernach - I heard it gets kind of crazy around the rathaus.
J - A good answer :)
Eurotrippen - It is a nice gym. I think we made the right choice.
Hamish - Some of the other sauna users looked like they were from anacient Rome :)
Dale - It is Stephen King like isn't it.
Dr John - I did use the cold plunge, which is bloody cold. But I would never make a real Finn :)
Nan - Hope you enjoy your visit to the wellness centre, but stay away from the hot saunas :)
Martin - I definately feel like a clown when I am at the gym sometimes! :)
did you take the picture, it is really cool!

Kim/Thomas - The picture is from my local newspaper. It's a great photo though :)
