Week 2 photos continued

Another day in this paradise. Look at how calm the lake was today, the 20th July, and the temperature was around 26C. As usual, it was a case of swimming, fishing, relaxing in the sauna, and heating the barbecue to cook some delicious Finnish sausages!

Livvy gets ready to swim!

It really is difficult to convey just how warm the waters in this lake are. It's just like swimming in the swimming pool here, at around 27C near to the shore, and still warm even as you swim farther out. It's the most amazing sensation, stepping out of the sauna, then jumping in here. The water's clean, full of fish, and it's so quiet, it's like you're the only people on the lake. And in fact, you are!!
