Great photo essay. I worked in Sweden on a project when I was in my twenties. I have very fond memories of the people.

Jocke,
Did you have to ask for ice for your drinks?

Wow, very nice pictures Jocke! I love the pictures of The Icehotel, Jukkasjärvi. The picture of the toilet was just too much.
Thanks for sharing Jocke, it was very enjoyable!

Thanks for the pictorial Jocke! Your considerable talents were used quite well. I'll bet the ice drinks were good- the frozen "glasses" made them look as tasty as candy. I showed my wife the ice hotel and the town & landscape photos, and she wants to go to. My son loves the sled dogs as well. We all enjoyed the excellent tour!

Thank you all, I´m happy you like it. For me and my wife it was a blast.
