Ice Hotel


Ice hotel on second last day. Not too cold, but somewhat desolate inside. If you get a room in the ice hotel, you also get a room at the Sheraton across the street. Just in case you get freaked out by being inside a giant room made of ice.  Unfortunately, we did not stay in the ice hotel, but we did get a free tour.  According to the tour guide, the cups at the bar are also made of ice.  Unfortunately you can't order hot chocolate (for obvious reasons).  The hotel only uses the cups once since they can't be washed.  Then they're put outside so that they will eventually melt away.
Then they're put outside so that they will eventually melt away.  If I remember correctly, prices for the rooms start at $1000 a night.  Since the trip cost around $1000, we would have only been able to stay at the ice hotel for a one meager day (the price is wrong Bob).  I suppose the idea of the ice hotel is meant for posh rich people who can throw their money around freely.
