I can't imagine how exhilarating it must be to subject your body to extreme heat and then cold in succession. From your description, it sounds like a really lovely experience. I'd definitely try it out if I got the chance!
Here in the US we don't have many saunas, but with the cold weather today I sure wish home saunas were part of the culture here!
Thanks for the interesting read 😁
Sauna culture (even without the swim) is really nice in the winter. In the summer it is great too, where there is light past midnight, and warm weather with a cold drink :)
