Ice Hotel

Just before Christmas a few years ago, we arrived late at night at the ice hotel in Lappland. It was cold, about minus 25 and driving down the icy slope through the entrance was pretty scary. The stillness of the frozen night and excitement being there was huge.

Remember big piles of frozen snow everywhere.. we parked in an empty space and tried to connect the car with a cable to an electric parking meter to keep the car warm overnight. But this night i was soo tired and it was dark and remember following a cable that was attached to this meter to find out what was the other end of a big pile of snow, so then i thought id just give it a small tug and bang...the lights from the big Christmas tree outside the ice hotel all went off..
