Sweden: Kiruna (Ice Hotel)

My final vacation trip for my sep is Kiruna, which is a town in northern Sweden. Kiruna's website says: U haven't been to Sweden if u haven't been to Kiruna. (Kiruna Movie)So here I am...



Due to expensive flights during our period, we have no choice but to take an ardous 15h train from Stockholm to Kiruna.



Kiruna train station



When we reach at 11plus in the morning , it was already dark. Trekking thick snow isn't easy.



Stadhuset(City Hall)



We took a bus to the ice hotel, which is basically a hotel entirely made up of ice and snow.



In the hallway of the ice hotel



Every room's interior is different



I'm not sure how effective is the insulation layer



If u ever tried making a snowman, u'll appreciate how difficult it is to make real human faces on snow. Moreover, this is kiruna, where it's impossible to make a snow ball cos the snow is just too flaky.(cos cold)



Icebar, where even the cups are made of ice.



Ice Church





Feast back in our hostel
