Iced in Copenhagen

You've probably seen magazine or TV stories about the Ice Hotels in Sweden and Canada, where every surface is carved from ice.

Here is Copenhagen, there's also an Ice Bar. It's No. 2...the original is in Stockholm.

I've now been to both. They aren't very different...but it's a lot more fun to go to one with a pile of friends, I learned last night, than by yourself (my Stockholm experience.) You're never there long enough to meet anybody new....too cold! The small space is lined entirely with blocks of ice, with drink glasses made of ice and even the seats (though they come with little fluffy sheepskin pads to warm the tush.)

(The tab: $31 per person including an Absolut vodka drink...and enough fun to be worth it!)
