The Icebergs in Sydney
This is a little inconsiderate of me.
Posting an article on the world’s most alluring swimming pools right smack in the middle of a summer heatwave.
While that little drop of sweat rolls down your forehead and plops onto your work desk. Not terribly kind of Nessy is it?
Well tough.
I’ve been hibernating inside for the last 48 hours, decorating my room with no less than three high speed, top-of-the-range fans, evian body spray at the ready, and I want to talk about swimming pools.
I want to talk about that turquoise infinity pool that isn’t on my balcony.
At this point, I would gladly drink pool water. Chlorinated and all.
For those of you that think this kind of heat is fantastic? I hope you melt. For those of you on summer vacation with a swimming pool at your doorstep? I hope your swimsuit falls off when you jump in.
Sorry. But I’m really hot.

Badeschiff or “bathing ship” is the most unusual swimming pool in Berlin. It is an old cargo container converted into a pool on Spree River. During the summer it is an outdoor pool with the beach, bar and DJs. In the winter the whole thing is covered, and a few extra saunas are added.

But the award for the most unforgettable pool has to go to a natural pool. The Devil’s swimming pool, Victoria Falls.
