Want to snorkel? Don't go to Finland...

Moving can keep you too busy to write a blog, particularly if you are without a proper online connection. I will try to keep up posting once a week.

Some years ago we had in Thailand some great snorkeling. We spent a week at Koh Samui, which was quite an enjoyable place even if they have Pizza Hut and McDonalds on the island.

One day we made a trip to Koh Tao, assumingly a paradise island for diving and snorkeling. Which it was, even if too many people know about it and hence it has got some touristic influences.

What a fantastic place, one of the few chances to feed fish from the hand.

When we came back we went to a lake house in central Finland. I of course took my snorkel with me and I gotta say I was surprised. Negatively. In Finland most lakes are muddy and the water is too cold to snorkel. When you try to breath through a tube, the fresh=cold water takes a breath away so you can't get enough air.

...so if you can´t have proper snorkeling, at least you should choose a proper company to snorkel with! One day in the office we had a lunch table discussion about this and smart colleagues suggested ice snorkeling with vodka spirit. If it feels too cold, you use the tube as a straw for the vodka...

Another suggestion was to spend a day with your mother-in-law: Go snorkeling or diving!
Why?
Well, it's easy to avoid unpleasant topics while you can't talk. My naughty colleagues also suggested to offer a weight belt to mother-in-law for snorkeling, together with a cork for the pipe.

Shame on them!!!
