Vans for the<br />
Memories<br />
BERLIN Summer has returned to the<br />
German capital, where the world’s fi rst<br />
indoor caravan park, Hüttenpalast<br />
(meaning “cottage palace”), is helping<br />
visitors enjoy the great outdoors indoors.<br />
Located in the production hall of a<br />
disused vacuum-cleaner factory in the<br />
old industrial Neukölln district, this quirky<br />
hotel has caravans and cabins instead<br />
of rooms, and communal living spaces<br />
complete with swings and “trees”, just like<br />
an outdoor caravan park.<br />
Owners Silke Lorenzen and<br />
Sarah Vollmer say they wanted to<br />
invoke the very German feeling of<br />
Schrebergartenglück (meaning “the joy<br />
of spending some time in a small garden<br />
plot in the middle of many other small<br />
garden plots”) and retain the architecture<br />
of the original building, while creating “a<br />
space where people actually meet each<br />
other”. Van rental starts at €40 a night.<br />

Peep Sea Show<br />
TEL AVIV More than 1,000 naked people spent the day<br />
frolicking in the Dead Sea recently and all for a good<br />
cause. Photographer Spencer Tunick, who is known for<br />
his use of mass nudes, planned his latest shoot to raise<br />
awareness of dwindling water levels. Let’s hope it wasn’t<br />
too chilly. spencertunick.com
