A Taste of Spring at Dyrham Park

Dad was with us last weekend and we took advantage of his car to get out of Bristol and visit somewhere new. It was free entry weekend for the National Trust, so we went to Dyrham Park, near Chippenham. A very interesting house (film set for one of the Dr Who episodes in last season).

More Sweden/Norway photos coming soon....

Absolut-ly Frozen

It's been a busy couple of weeks, but here are a few more Icehotel photos - this time centered around the Ice Bar and our room. And just to prove that we were actually there and this isn't an elaborate hoax, this week's photos even include us! The wonders of self timer mode...

Behind the bar

All the ice is made from water from the Torne River, which runs right past the hotel

Tipsy fish...

Absolut bottles frozen into the bar

Some people just can't help themselves...

The furniture in our room: a little cold to sit on...

Deciding who gets to sleep on which side of the bed.

Still to come: huskies, moose, reindeer and the northern lights.
