With the company of David and his family and the tour guide, many small things were arranged properly. Yang Yi and the others were less worried. The next morning, after breakfast, Yang Yi and the others checked out of the original hotel when the sky was still dark. They sat in a small van rented by David and headed to the legendary Ice Hotel.
After all, the city was sealed by ice and snow. The entire city was covered in thick white snow. The tires of the small van were almost stuck in the snow. As they moved forward, they made a deep roaring sound. It felt like they were going to collapse at any time!
However, although the small van was driving shakily, as if it was cross-country in a rugged mountain, which made it very uncomfortable to sit in, for the children, this kind of shaky car was more interesting. Along the way, whether it was Xi Xi, Lu Weisha, or Tong Tong, who was in her mother's arms, they were all giggling non-stop.
The Ice Hotel was located in a small town twenty kilometers away from the city. Although it took about an hour to drive there in the snow, and the time was a little long, it passed very quickly amidst the laughter and laughter. When they came back to their senses, they had already arrived at their destination!
The Ice Hotel's appearance was not very good. It was like a small raised snow slope, but it was really made of ice. After entering, one would find a completely different world!
Like the hotel's bar, the bar counter was made of ice, and there were some patterns carved on it. However, the most beautiful thing was the translucent ice that was illuminated by the light. There were some crystal textures inside, and it was completely natural. Every piece looked different. When the light reflected, the blue light made the entire hall look cold and elegant!
Staying in such a hotel was not cheap at all. However, there were still many tourists who came. They stayed in the hotel in the city and then bought a tour ticket to see the entire ice sculpture landscape of the hotel!
Of course, Yang Yi and the others did not care about this little bit of money. Yang Yi was only concerned about the comfort of the two most luxurious suites that they booked. After all, they had children. If it was like the row of ice beds that they had visited at the beginning, it would be meaningless!
Fortunately, after the hotel staff opened the door for them, Yang Yi saw that the interior of their suite was not bad. It was similar to what was described on the Internet.
The facilities were definitely not as good as the hotel they stayed in last night. There was no TV, computer, or other electrical appliances. There was only a slightly larger ice bed that could accommodate Yang Yi's family of four. There was also an ice table and four ice chairs at the side!
Other than that, there were also some ice sculptures on the walls. Compared to the ones outside, there were more of them and they were more exquisite. Coupled with the colorful lights, the colors of the entire room became lively!
"Are there no windows here?" Murphy asked curiously.
"There are no windows because it's very cold outside. An enclosed environment is more suitable for keeping the interior warm." The waiter understood English and replied in English.
Murphy felt that she had asked a rather stupid question, so she shrunk her head back in embarrassment. She moved closer to Yang Yi and whispered to Yang Yi, "I didn't want to open the window, but I was wondering if the room would be too stuffy without a window."
Yang Yi smiled and took her to see an external ventilation device in the room.
Although there were no windows, the two suites they lived in had an advantage. That was, they had a separate bathroom. They could not take a bath and could only go to the toilet. But even so, compared to the simple rooms outside, it was still much better.
There was no heating in the room. After all, they were living in an igloo. If the heating was turned on, the room would probably collapse. Murphy looked at the thick animal fur blanket on the bed and was a little worried that it would be too cold to sleep at night.
However, they would not stay in the hotel immediately. After putting down their luggage, Yang Yi's family and David's family once again got into the minivan and staggered to Lake Rosa.
However, before arriving at their destination, they first came to a small town on the outskirts of Lake Rosa. David went over to ask, and soon, they rented enough sleigh "car" teams!
Yes, they wanted to experience dog sledding, but generally, six dogs pulled a sleigh that could seat two people. Now, in order to meet the needs of Yang Yi and his family, they changed to a larger sleigh that could seat four people with twelve dogs pulling it. And counting Lu Weisha's family, they needed at least twenty-four dogs!
Including the tour guide and the others, almost all the sledding dogs in the small town had been bought. Of course, the old Swedish man who ran the dog sledding program was still very happy. He counted the money while exhaling white cold air and laughing non-stop.
After knowing that they were going to take a sleigh, Xi Xi asked her father curiously, "Papa, are we, are we pulling the sleigh?"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment. He remembered the scene of going down the mountain after watching the sunrise yesterday. He smiled and patted Xi Xi on the shoulder and said, "No, we are going to take a sleigh pulled by a puppy, we are all …"
Before Yang Yi finished speaking, the noisy barking of dogs outside had reached their ears!
Rushing out of the cabin, Yang Yi took the eager little guys and saw a large group of dogs outside. To be exact, it was a large group of Huskies …
That's right!
The black and white, or a little gray hair, the black eyes and small pupils, the silly appearance, Yang Yi recognized their identity at first glance!
Huskies!
"Why is it a husky?" Murphy looked at Yang Yi in surprise and asked in a low voice.
She was embarrassed to show her ignorance in front of others, so she only dared to ask Yang Yi secretly.
Of course, Yang Yi knew this kind of dog very well. He smiled and said to Murphy, "They are Huskies. They have another name, Siberian Sled Dogs. They were first used to pull sleighs because they are cold resistant, eat little, and are very serious when pulling sleighs. In the past, hunters would pull sleighs with them to the deep forest to hunt!"
Murphy looked at Yang Yi in surprise, and then looked at the Huskies who were staring at them before they started. She couldn't think of the so-called "serious work" in these legendary Huskies.
"Are these dogs?" Xi Xi had already started discussing with Lu Weisha.
"Yes, they are very powerful. They can pull us and run, just like horses!" Lu Weisha said.
"Lu Weisha, don't you think they are like wolves?" Xi Xi asked Lu Weisha, both happy and worried.
"It's okay, they are not wolves, they are dogs!" Lu Weisha laughed.
Xi Xi looked at the Huskies who were wagging their tails in a friendly manner and shaking their heads to rub against their companions. Her fear disappeared and was replaced by curiosity and joy.
"Papa, can I touch these dogs? They are so cute! "Xi Xi said to her father enviously.
"That's not okay." Yang Yi shook his head and patiently explained, "Because they are different from Steamed Bun. When Steamed Bun is at home, we often give him a bath, but these dogs have never been bathed, and then they have to work, so they will smell very bad!"
Indeed, although the cold made it difficult for the nose to breathe, Yang Yi could still vaguely smell the stench from these dogs. After all, they lived in a dog pen, not a pet dog that lived with humans!
But after listening to her father's words, Xi Xi felt even more sorry for these big dogs.
