CAUGHT IN THE WASH

 
 Day 6

 On the sixth day we decided to rest.  We traveled south to Brig by train.  Brig is deep in the Rhone valley.  Its at a far lower altitude than Kandersteg and so is a good few degrees hotter.   

 
We visited a swimming pool in Brigabad which uses hot natural springs to heat the water.  One pool is a large ring shape with a powerful current that drags swimmers round.  A large rock juts out over the edge, the challenge is to hold on or pluck other swimmers off!

 A different pool has a very large rock strategically placed at the deep end.  Time for some top bombing!
