Got this e-mail from the hostel I’m staying at in Stockholm. Check out the video. Did you see ice on that water? Because I did. (But full props to my hostel – City Backpackers – for organizing an awesome and original event.) And I will likely sign up for the Swedish Meatball session because it sounds awesome.
Viking Sauna Tour
will launch for the first time this year the very week you stay with us!
Hooray! I can’t wait!
This time of the year it’s chilly in Sweden, so the Vikings invented a great way to get that summer beach feeling; the sauna. I’m gonna take some backpackers trekking through a forest to a sauna by a small lake, and it would be great if you joined us! What we do is we get a fire going until the sauna reaches boiling point, and then we throw ourselves in the lake, which will be a lot colder I tell u!
I know this sounds like complete madness, but I’ve been doing this tour twice a week all through the last two winters, and all the people who have joined me have absolutely loved it! It’s healthy, relaxing, fun, and a great way to meet new people. Have a look at this film and you’ll get an idea:
The tour runs on Tuesday and Thursday 10.00 (am) – 14.30 (pm) and costs 440 SEK. Bus tickets, private sauna, lunch sandwich and a beer is included in the price.
If you pre book the Sauna Tour plus any of our other tours by answering this mail you get a 50 SEK discount. (We can only take ten people on each tour, so it’s a good idea to sign up in advance anyway.)
I hope to see you in the sun, we’ll have a great time!
Yours Lena, Chief of the City Backpacker Tour Squad
