No that's not the ocean your looking at, that's the world largest pool in Chile. It's 20 acres, at the deepest 115 ft and holds 66 million gallons of salt water. Its located at the San Alfonso Del Mar.
I was reading an article on the top 10 most amazing pools in the world and my mouth dropped when I saw this, and immediately started planning my trip haha. I am not good at Spanish so I tried my best to get through the site to see pricing and it looked like for a week in the middle of June the price is $50 a night! There was package that I saw for 2 weeks for $650, I don't even think you could spend that for a half a week during off season in most places in North America. Honestly if I saw this place, same time last year my husband and I would have been going there for our honeymoon. I am not going to get into much of what the San Alfonso Del Mar is all about because like I said I don't understand Spanish all to well so I don't want miss speak, just take a look at the link above and it will tell you everything. In the mean time just look at the pictures and drool over paradise.
I know I haven't been consistant with the Monday and Tuesday posts, but I am having some HUGE writers block on those days. I was lucky to have gotten Monday out. If I can come up with something without taring my hair out you will get a double post some time this week. Alright so now lets get to your Mid Week Blues post!
Yep its Wednesday again, to me this is the hardest day of the week. Everything that I haven't gotten done that week slaps me in the face on Wednesday, then everything I need to get done on Thursday and Friday is like "Yep I'm Still Here!" I need to learn how to delegate my time better :-\. But the important stuff does get done like my orders and answering peoples emails, so as long as I have those done I guess my week is complete. The rest is just extra. While I was looking through every website I could find and read every article I saw for Tuesdays post, I came across this lovely.
There is a hotel in Cape Town, South Africa called "The Grand Daddy". It has all the normal things a grand hotel would have, a restaurant, bar, hotel rooms, suites, and a penthouse all with terrific style. The unique part is that its penthouse is surrounded by the rooftop trailer park! Yup you heard right this hotel has its own trailer park. Each has its own style, designed by local artists.

Other then these, they also have sitting areas, a bar, and a movie theater showing older movies all right there on the roof. In the height of the season you can expect to spend 1250 Rand which is $199 per night. In the off season about $129.

While I was looking for cool blue things yesterday I came across a spa in South America that was gorgeous. After dealing with these freezing temperatures all I want to do is sit in a sauna or hot tub and roast. So of course I was drooling all over my screen looking at all the beautiful pictures. So here ya go, wonderful spas from around the world....
What I have for you on this Wednesday to cheer you up, and maybe put a little smile on your face is a hotel in Denmark called the Hotel Fox. The rooms of course caught my eye, which I am sure catches every ones eye when they first see this remarkably unique hotel.
Each room is a work of art and is painted by different artists all over the world. As a artist I drool over designing one of these rooms to show off to unexpected tourists, eager for something unique and festive. For some reason this style for a hotel is very Japanese to me, they seem very Anime like to me, a boutique hotel you would find in Japan on New York City, and for a price of about $300 a night it tops off that fee.
Here are just some of the rooms, you can see more at the Hotels website;
