This is part 2 of our adventures with Joel today. He has spoken many times of the Thermal Baths and how wonderful it is for your body. Today we finally get to experience them. This is the perfect way to close out Sharon’s time here in Switzerland.

- Joel and Zach in the "Kalt" bath at 17'C. That is shiver me timbers crazy cold!!
What you are supposed to do is get in the warm bath for a short time and then dip into the cold bath, if you can tolerate the cold. Keep repeating. The guys say it is an amazing feeling, but I can't tolerate that extreme cold, so I will never know. Sharon and Katelyn did slip in and out as well.
