Experience

I planned this Scandinavian excursion with my family, during the winters. I was always fascinated with the “AURORAS” and I ensured that we would stay at the Ice Hotel to sight this wonder, and we did! It was a natural wonder, experienced in complete darkness. The icing on the cake was snow mobiling on a frozen lake in @ -36 degrees C, followed by hot supper in a cozy home besides the lake!
