Ice Palace, cont.

Here is a picture of Matt enjoying an apple martini served to us at the Ice Bar, in an ice martini glass!
The Ice Princess
The Ice Palace is also equipped with four "hotel" rooms, where the beds are made of ice and you sleep on caribou "rugs" to keep from freezing. We didn' t partake in this aspect of the palace, though. It is $500 a night- to sleep on an ice bed!!! I don't think so!

One of the rooms even comes with a toilet! ha! (not real, of course!)
The Ice Bar, where said martinis were served...note the caribou padding on the ice bar stools.

The palace in full, taken from a different perspective. The giant ice brick wall you see is called the "Great Wall of Chena"- ha ha! I guess making that wall and the arched doorway were the most difficult tasks for the builders.



Wait.....seriously? A toilet? Wow. Gotta see that one again.And why not? A life-sized ice chess board!

MOOSE WATCH! ...in India?

TOTAL MOOSE: 38
Well, I highly doubt we will be seeing any moose in India....so, stay tuned for some other kind of wildlife "watch". I will have to survey the scene there before deciding which animal to choose....so far I am thinking "Monkey Watch!". :)
