Ice Hotel

Now why would anyone in their straight mind CHOOSE to go sleep in/on & surrounded by ice?!

For the experience of course!

I have to admit that even though my mom is of Inuit descent and I proudly awknowledge those roots, I think winter breaks down south have definitely killed a bit of the Inuit in me! Don't get me wrong, I don't HATE the cold and think that I can stand it better than most. Neither would I permantly exchange my snowy Canadian winters days for sunny Jamaican ones. However, with age, my feet have gotten cold and my tolerance to -15C has diminished! The thought of sleeping on a bed of ice was intriguing though... maybe it was that "we use to live in igloos" blood of mine bubbling at the idea of living this experience! So i booked a night at the Snow Village in Montreal this past February.

I would definitely recomment the experience and I do thank god for the hot tubs! Sitting at the restaurant was the coldest I was all night, so I do recomment a coat that covers the tushy! It was ONLY -16C that night and our sleeping bags could withstand -30C, so I have to admit I'd like to do it again on a colder night... I know! Craziness!
