I'd do it....in fact I did it above the artic circle in Norway! it was a competition on our tour and I lasted 15 minutes (mind u I was blue by the end of it!). Tip: Don't just sit or stand in the water,swim (so you are producing heat!)....also the guys on our trip last all but about 5 seconds and major shrinkage!

We were in Scandanavia for 3 weeks on a tour and we were playing "Viking Olympics". Over the three weeks we were given tasks to do and games to play, so I personally didn't win anything but it counted for my "country" to win the whole games, which we received gold chocolate medals! (Corny I know!). It was a lot of fun, filling in time in camp grounds at night and on long bus rides.

The games were really good. The bus was split into 4 countries (denmark, sweden, norway, finland). We had an opening ceremony, and games and activities over the three weeks included a scavenger hunt (which included getting a "souvenior" from another tour company (ie contiki)), school yard games (like tunnel ball etc), weetbix eating, karoke, skits, polar plunge. So we spent 3 weeks running around Scandi being big kids. We then had a closing ceremony.

It was awesome .

Ohhhhhhh, I hate when they try and make a bus tour like summer camp...but yeah, it's what you make it, so if you liked it, I'm glad. For me though, never again will I find myself in a bus tour/summer camp situation.
