Well, ingesting some of that canal water might cause some additional weight loss



Tried something like that about 10-12 months ago - a consultancy company bought cakes for many clients -unfortunately most were tainted wit "winter womiting sickness"-virus... At my department 22 of 24 caught it - one didn't eat from it and the last one is now known as iron-belly... Lost ca 6 kg in 3 days - not very pleasant way to lose weight though...

Unfortunately the coastline is pretty boring (as in straight, manmade)

Hmmm, yeah... but open one of the sluices and we can get some whitewater - might upset the natives though
