Sauna Stories
I will start off with a personal story of mine to break the ice.
After a few vodka shots at a local cafe in Tallin, me and my wife decided it would be fun to visit the sauna and spa. I was walking down the stairs in the mens only wet shower room, at this moment it is good to note that I was wearing spa slippers and on the last step I flew into the air to finally connect the apex of the step with my pelvis. This instantly ruined the sauna experience and I spent the next few hours in the hospital. The hotel we stayed at were kind enough to offer an extra night for free, to allow us to enjoy the spa properly.
