The Snow Hotel...

Il 19 dicembre
Kirkenes, Norway

Our last day this far north before leaving for Oslo and what better excursion than having lunch at the Snow Hotel. Although the hotel complex has additional cabins that, like the restaurant, are built of wood, the actual hotel is constructed from ice coming from a nearby frozen lake. Newly made every year, it's one of those places you must see to believe; each of the twenty rooms is carved out of ice and the sculpture decorating the walls is remarkable. Not to mention the frozen local berry slush drink served in ice shot glasses; it was quite the cocktail!
