As New Zealand is far away from Finland it was planned to have a half way stop over in Malaysia to relax and recover from jet lag. As said the idea was to relax on the beach and pool side, but as usual there are never too many days without any activities. So what did the team Finland do in Malaysia?

After the tournament there was time for sightseeing and activities. New Zealand and Christchurch area offered lots of after tournament opportunities. What did the Finns do?
Sightseeing
There would not have been enough time for all mentioned above and everyone was not interested in every option, but there was at least someone going for each option.
The most interesting activity (sky diving) was cancelled due to clouds and turbulent winds (30 m/s at 10000 ft), which gave Nalle some difficult time for waiting and waiting for sky to clear and winds to clam down. The miracle did not happen and sky diving with 60 s free fall and full video package was cancelled
After there was only one day left and the weather forecast was not good for sky diving it was time for plan B - bungee jumping. During the Nalle used a heart rate monitor. While sitting on the bench and preparing for the jump pulse was 74, standing up raise heart beat rate to 90, on the edge just before the jump pulse went up to 112, and right after the jump (after 2 bounces) the pulse was 116. Let’s see if detailed analysis will reveal any higher figures, but the numbers observed by watching the Polar RS800 were amazingly low.
