Smallest Hotel In The World

It holds the world record for 'smallest hotel in the world' and, when you arrive at Punta Grande, you will be forgiven for thinking you have arrived at the home of an insane fisherman with a love for very exposed locations.

Situated on a rocky outcrop in the island of El Hierro in the Canary Islands, you might get a bit lonely as it is far way away from the island's only town and sparse 10,000 strong population. The facilities in your room are limited to a hair dryer… and… well… a hair dryer.

Much of the wood has been salvaged from shipwrecks which is Eco-friendly and a bit creepy. One room even has a little balcony for you to hang your fishing rod out of.

Unique touches and little bits of seafaring paraphernalia decorate the interior and the downstairs dining room has a tree root protruding from the ceiling because, I suppose, when you live on a rock in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, things get a bit weird. Indeed, Tom Hank's imaginary football friend from the film 'Cast Away', Wilson, has apparently visited this remote hotel. But reports have yet to be confirmed.

The Permanent Hair Tattoo Technique

If you can withstand the temporary discomfort of a tattoo then you can take advantage of this permanent solution: hair tattoos. Created by Ian Watson after he began losing hair due to stress, the procedure is called MHT (Micro Hair Technique) Scalp Pigmentation. This procedure applies various pigment shades to the scalp in order to reproduce the correct shape, size and density of short hairs. Now Watson has HIS (Hair Ink Scalp) Hair Clinics popping up in both the UK and US where he charges $3,000 for the procedure, which is much less than the $40,000 hair transplants many people undergo.

Climbers were sleeping on the rocks in the 50-ies. At first they were looking comfortable mountain "shelves"to replace the bed, and now they use a suspended tent, the system is called portaledges. They are specially designed for rock climbers, who need to spend a few days and nights on a big rock.
