Laura007 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I went to stockholm 2 weeks ago, whilst we were there we went to the original absolut ice bar. It doesnt get above -5 degrees and the whole place really is made out of ice shipped in from somewhere in the north of Sweden ( i forget the place name) it really was cool! it's that cold you get a very fetching silver cape to wear. Nice. NB. The glasses on the left of the picture are all made out of ice aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I would LOVE to go to that ice hotel,wherever it is,where you get to sleep on deer skins. In fact,I might move in Laura,that looks great.What a wonderful place to visit! We went there when my folks took us all to Lapland, we had to wear so many layers that it wasn't very comfortable, but it was a great experience. I liked the 24 grey light that they have in winter; the sun 'comes up', well lightens the sky slightly for 10 minutes, then disappears again. Everything is lit by candles and fires so it's very romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 - you don't suffer from claustrophobia then Sarah? Strangely I sort of do actually. I get panicked in areas which are crowded & I can't escape from....like a cinema or a plane I am OK in a confined space,so long as I can get out.Lifts are fine Those capsules look so cosy.......... I was not planning on my little capsule being too crowded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
