Bedrooms made out of ice

This beautifully crafted ice hotel in Sweden is located in Jukkasjärvi, a village near Kiruna, in the far north of Sweden.


What you may think now might be:
No way! This cannot be all made out of ice and snow. At least something must be glass.
But believe it or not - this is all made out of ice.


 You can even marry in this ice church if you want, or dance in the ice disco!

  

 
Those picturesque rooms can be booked at www.icehotel.com .
Those rooms are really all made out of ice and snow and the beds are made out of a wooden case, on top of which rests a reindeer skin and some furs and special sleeping bags for you to sleep in.
Each room has its own nice interior design. Even the furniture is authentic.

Beach Hotels

The pictures I've posted earlier show huge crowds. Obviously, they had to stay somewhere. There were bungalows and campgrounds, but by far, it seems the primary places to stay were hotels. There were lots of them, from a little away from the water in Arrochar all the way south along the beach to New Dorp.









Hotel Lincoln - Midland Beach

I think there are a few of the original buildings remaining in South Beach that have now been converted into apartments. Specifically there is one remaining hotel building today standing alone at the foot of Midland Avenue near the corner of Fr. Capaodano Blvd. It still functions as a hotel but not, I think, as one you might take your family to for a summer excursion to the beach.
