Dive into the lobby

1

      

Most divers go underwater to see fish and coral reefs. But in Florida, in the U.S., you can also

stay at the world's only underwater hotel. It takes about an hour to dive down to the Jules

Undersea Lodge. Then you swim up into the pool in the lobby to check in. The rooms are

small, so you should only take a few things. Fortunately, the hotel packs them in a waterproof

container and takes them there for you.

Salt, salt everywhere
The Hotel de Sal Playa in Bolivia is certainly different. It's almost completely made of salt –
the walls, tables, chairs, and even the beds. Everything except the toilets! While we were there,
we visited Fisherman's Island with its fabulous 12-foot cacti. It's fun to rent mountain bikes to
go and see the salt hills, lakes, and hot springs. Just be sure to take sunglasses – the sun gets
extremely bright

A place to chill out

It's a pretty long way to go to stay at the Ishotellet (Ice Hotel) - 100 miles north of the Arctic
Circle in Sweden. But it's definitely worth the effort. It's hard to imagine sleeping on an ice bed,
but with a reindeer skin and a good sleeping bag I was warm. And my wake-up call came with
a hot drink. Make sure you check out of the hotel before it melts in the spring! But don't worry –
they rebuild it every winter.

How do you get to the Jules Undersea Lodge?

by diving underwater

How long does it take to get to the Jules Undersea Lodge?

about an hour

What are three interesting things to see near the Hotel de la Playa?
salt hills, lakes and hot springs

Why do you need sunglasses at the Hotel de la Playa?

because the sun is extremely bright

 Where do you sleep at the Ice Hotel?

on an ice bed

 Why do they have to rebuild the Ice Hotel every year?

because it melts every spring
