49. Do 3 Things That I’ve Never Done Before

I actually nearly changed this task as it seemed a bit wooly but I think I can mark it as complete now thanks to the weekend at the Ice Hotel.

1)  Snowmobiling

I went snowmobiling which was a lot of fun, little bit cold but thankfully we had all of the clothes that the hotel provided so not too bad.  We stopped half way and had dinner in a little cabin in the woods.

2)  Ice Sculpting

Ian had arranged for us to try ice sculpting which I was not really hopeful for as I'm the least artist person that I know but I was willing to give it a try.  I was suprised how easy it was and I really quite enjoyed it.  

Ian decided to make a diamond and I attempted to make a heart as it was Valentines Day the next day.

3) Dog Sleighing

Instead of taking the bus from the hotel back to the airport in Kiruna, Ian had arranged for us to take a dog sleigh ride.  There were a couple of hair raising moments as the snow was so deep due to the snow fall overnight that the dogs couldn't find the track so we got stuck.  Once the sleigh tipped over and we fell off into really deep snow, about 60-70 cm, and had to walk to catch the dog sleigh.  The huskies were very pretty but a little bit smelly....
