Sunday 26 november 2017

Sauna Surfing

It sounds hard after the party on Sat night - but a SPA is a place to relax and so it's ok to get up early for that since you can catch up on sleep or just relax there, too!

 

AND it makes sense to have the SPA at the end of such a CS weekend! For then you can start sweating out all the alcohol there already and maybe even use the heat to kill (or otherwise cultivate...) some of the SDI's you'll have caught after drinking all that alcohol.

 

You can opt to EITHER join us for the first 4h (and pay only €15,50 for the morning ticket) OR stay longer (and pay the day ticket for €33,50).

 

Location: Thermen Holiday

Time: 10:00

More information: your host for this subevent is Ulf
