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

Wow! That was amazing to look at! Thank you SO much for posting all the wonderful pictures. I've heard about that Ice Hotel, but have seen very few pictures. I feel like I just had a mini-holiday!

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!

You have to roll in the snow until you feel warm.



There was both showers and sauna if you get too cold. But I will say when
it was -20 degree Celsius I don´t feel cold, the air up there is very dry and
it´s not much wind that blowing.
