Planning A Brief Getaway

| 16 February 2011 | 17 Comments

It’s not quite easy to plan a one-day getaway when it involves everybody’s availability. My friends and I have long been planning to have a short trip across the border but it has always been hampered by unexpected circumstances. Since we couldn’t do it on weekdays, we planned to have it on a Saturday. Not on a Sunday and any other day. Just one day. We did it once a few years ago, a back and forth cruise from Gothenburg harbour to Fredrikshavn (harbour) in Denmark. When we met last month, we decided to do the same in a few months.

Scandic The Reef

Scandic The Reef

It had been a subject for discussion everytime we’d meet but we could never come up with a final destination. One of us suggested this paradise-like hotel close to the Fredrikshavn (harbour) in Denmark. It was known as the Badhotellet (Spa Hotel) before but now it’s called Scandic The Reef after going through a facelift. It reopened in the summer of last year. I took time to browse the hotel online and found exciting informations that would make our getaway worthwhile. It seems as though the hotel has transformed into a Caribbean water world style. It will be an adventure to experience tropical rain, storms, thunder and lightning in the hotel. I can’t describe how it is to be there. It will be a story to tell later. This brief getaway is something we’ve been looking forward to.
