Hans Peter, a former competitive swimmer, told with bright eyes from the Christmas swim in Geneva, formerly a social occasion of his swimming club. "I would like to once again faces mitm , but alone it is my counter. Who's coming, accompanied me in next winter? It works yet? The spins so perfect! However, the seed began to germinate. Two or three glasses of beer was later the subject back on the table and appeared no longer with us as absurd. But why to Geneva, we still have the Aare at the door? Why at Christmas, we still have the Onion Market?
