OVERNIGHT AT THE ICE HOTEL (and we survived) | EP 204

👍IN THIS EPISODE
Sleeping in -5 degrees celsius (23 degrees Fahrenheit) is something that no one wants to do, unless you stay at an IceHotel. We stayed overnight at the original Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. It's like sleeping in an igloo. The Scandanavia vlogs continue.

Amazing cold! Do much fun. Making memories!

[@WorldTowning]

It really was. Hard to think that our time in Lemonade is almost over.

[@samuelbarns118]

Love how you do these experiences for their birthdays, so much better than some 'thing' that they'll grow out of in a year! I've just come back from a hammocking (wild camping) trip to Sweden, it's totally amazing, and those Lingonberries grow everywhere in the woods along with Blueberries, you can just walk alone eating them or just lean out of the hammock in the morning an pick a Blueberry! Such an incredible country, and actually really friendly outgoing people!

[@WorldTowning]

We love it as well. Largo's birthday is coming up soon. It's time to think of the next adventure. If it was up to him, we would just stay at LegoLand. :)

[@madie72451]

Glad I got to watch you in the ice hotel. Because I would NOT do it!! Happy Birthday Avalon!!💖

[@WorldTowning]

Like all things, hindsight is 20/20. I would do it again now. Just not again the following night.

[@tommyedodson2412]

20:11 'really COOL once in a lifetime experience" - truer words have never been spoken. What a great idea though of doing something special for the kids birthdays. Something they will remember for a long time. Wish we had thought of that when ours were young. Would I stay there if I could? You bet.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. We think so to. Your interpretation of a moment when you are in it and when it is over are usually two different things. Especially when it is freezing :)

[@robinlehman8232]

Awesome video. One of my favorites. Keep um coming❤️

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. We are doing our best to release as often as possible.

[@perthyren601]

Another wonderful video !

[@susanho2452]

The first one! Yes! So fun and exciting but yes freeeeeee-zing!

[@jsueiro1]

Yeah!!!! I know, I was so cold and super cranky the next day. Ha

[@111-i9e8m]

@@jsueiro1 😃😃😃 Really Jessica - hope you are still not cranky. Buy Icebreaker T's and underwear. Made from merino wool in NZ. Excellent quality and in nice designs and colours. Even pink for you. Icebreaker clothes last for years and never carry body odour. All the best.

[@brettgoodall5171]

TOOOOOO funny. I loved the whole show. Way to go. 14K Subscribers. Keep it going.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks Brett! Next goal, 20,000!

[@bethanybaker7791]

SO FUNNY! I laughed all the way through. I can't decide if I want to actually do this...but I feel like camping in a tent with my kids is the same kind of sleep, lol!

[@WorldTowning]

I know, right! The fact that all four of us shared the bed and that Jessica and I were squirming in the sleeping bag freezing. Next time, I would let Jessica have her own sleeping bad and we would have ended up so much warmer.

[@111-i9e8m]

Loved this. Great footage and informative.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. The next one is quite special as well.

[@olijfje4063]

What a great birthday present! Happy birthday Avelon!

[@WorldTowning]

It was a great adventure for her birthday.

[@juliaangelicaa5395]

Loving the artsy ❄️ ice hotel. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Good for you guys!!! I'd probably do it just for the heck of it but I'd stay awake all night for sure 👀

[@WorldTowning]

The art was not just in the Ice Hotel structures. There were incredible art pieces all over the grounds. It's a really cool concept with a great story behind it. The back story makes it even more interesting.

[@Mikelk71]

That was fantastic!! Thank you

[@WorldTowning]

It was one of those "once in a lifetime" experiences. Not sure it we are in a hurry to do it again.

[@bethanybaker7791]

Not sure how many Birthday Gift Adventures you've filmed, but I think you need a "Birthday Adventure" Playlist. They seem to be some of the most unique things you guys have done. Or maybe a "Unique Nights Sleep" playlist or something like that.

[@WorldTowning]

That's a definite thought! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@111-i9e8m]

Cranky = not such a happy mood. I would do it. Have slept in an igloo here in Switzerland. Yes, it was cold but delightful. All the best and especially to Avalon. Happy Birthday - 15 wow. No longer a kid but a sweet young lady. Next year Avalon, check out the Abbey Library in St Gallen - Switzerland. Very spectacular with books dating back to the year dot. All scipted by hand and bound in leather. Now that I think is style. They even have a mummy there. What more could you desire. 😚😚😚

[@WorldTowning]

I wish we had time to go back to Switzerland. We have about two more months left in Lemonade before we sell her. There will be tears.

[@cindyfleer2248]

🥶👍🌨💨❄️☕️🍙💙 happy belated birthday Avalon!

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks

[@leeallen463]

In all the beautiful, amazing places you finally found one they couldn't pay me to stay in. The rooms look nice but sleeping in -5 should be a penalty for crime, not something people pay for. Congratulations on having kids far more adventurous than i ever was but if i was you i'd have spent the night in the warm room.

[@WorldTowning]

LOL! I love it. It was a hard night for sure, but having the memories of the experience (and also this video) is worth it. The great part of recording our life is we get to laugh at ourselves over and over again.

[@vanlifeforgoldenrhodes]

Woohoo, you made it all night!!!

[@WorldTowning]

When you check out, you get a certificate saying that you survived. That's a cool touch.

[@vanlifeforgoldenrhodes]

@@WorldTowning Awesome! I think I should get a certificate for living n sleeping in -15 Celsius for a month. Burrrrrrrrr. LOL

[@helenholt1161]

Have you guys ever done any of the glass roof hotels to watch the northern lights? We did it in Alaska, I am assuming they have them in that region. It was a spectacular experience and you get to stay warm doing it.

[@111-i9e8m]

Sounds wonderful. Greetings from Switzerland.

[@WorldTowning]

We saw them in Finland, but we did not stay there. They look really cool, but when we were there, the forecast for the lists were low. Bummer.

[@kenkliu]

that looked cooooooooold

[@WorldTowning]

I really was. It was a cool experience, literally, but we were glad when we got to go in the sauna.

[@gingerz169]

Thank you for doing this for us so that I know NEVER to do it! I always thought it would be a cool thing to do on a honeymoon if I ever get married. But I think I would be quite miserable if I stayed there.

[@WorldTowning]

Ha, it was cold, way cold. Honeymoon, yeah, might be a bit uneventful. Wink. Ha .

[@gingerz169]

@@WorldTowning I would probably get angry because it would be too cold to pee at night. Then I would blame it on my husband. But I'm glad you experienced this for me so I wouldn't have to find out the hard way. ;)

[@mariacouch2215]

Hi I want to let you know I stay in the ice Hotel for one night and and warm room for one night I enjoyed byby

[@GulfStory]

I KNOW YOU FROM MOROCCO VIDEOS :) GOOD

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks

[@mohmadamghar1688]

Hello my frend

[@WorldTowning]

Hello. How are you?

[@ianinnes8063]

Hi folks how you all doin . Im not sure if i could spend a night in that ice hotel . Im a hot place person . Much prefer warm surroundings lol it would be interesting to see but id not want to spend much time to stay in the cold room . But the warm rooms look the part for me . I think the coldest ive bn out in was in finland near lapland . It was minus 36 u could feel ur breath catching in ur throat . It was actually painfull to breath in any kind of deeply . U guys look like ur part of a cult in this vid lol its cool to see but im glad im watchin it on my tv and its warm . Instead of cold ice lol . Pls take care . Ian . Ps loved the reigndeer vid i love them they so cute and very friendly i found when i was in finland . If u had a bag they are all over u . The girls are more friendly i found . Its a pity u never got to see baby ones they like dogs in size and they can be friendly too thsy try to suck on ur fingers . But its not gd for them as it gives thrm painfull wind . As they suckin in air . I fed them a couple of bottles of milk at the farm i was visiting . I could have just snuggled up with them lol .

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks. We loved the reindeer so much. I can't wait to go back one day and see them again. The ice hotel, maybe not. Burrrr

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

It is so cute when sweden copies all the ideas from Norway. Just as the ice-hotel idea.

[@7iron58]

Don't eat yellow snow or ice!

[@WorldTowning]

Exactly!
