Icehotel

In Jukkasjarvi, Sweden, there is a hotel made completely out of snow and ice cubes. They make it every winter and have people stay. I can imagine it would be very expensive.
There are creative ice cubes hung on the ceiling, the reception desk is out of ice, the restaurant is not of ice but all the dishes and benches are, and there is an ice chapel.
You can sleep in the cold parlour, in sleeping bags with lots of gear on (!) or in the warm parlour in a bed, or there is even the choice of staying outside in tents. Only daredevils venture that far! You can see the site here. It is a booking site, but I put it up for you to see the photos and the Northern Lights. It is amazing!








If you click on the photos you
will be able to see them bigger.

Actually, you should say, 'when you click on the picture it makes them smaller' (for those suffering from myopia). haha. Sorry, love, they didn't work too well.

Well of all things! Wouldn't the ice melt all around the people from their body heat as they slept?


I think I'll chose the tent...

Sorry, I meant choose. I must be feeling tense (heh).
