Name These Statues
I was feeling hopeless when I couldn’t find the name of a statue I photographed in Copenhagen. I couldn’t even find the name of the park we walked through. If it was indeed a park. I looked at the photos again and I discovered that hubby and I have taken pics of different statues, which we didn’t even bother to look for any information board by the side or anything that would tell something about each one of them. As you may have known, statues or sculptures are generally constructed with significant histories behind. And that’s what we missed with these statues. Our concern, though, was to see The Little Mermaid (Den lille havfrue) and that’s obviously the one statue we have known with a name. But before we reached the popular mermaid, we saw these on the way and through the park or whatever it was…
UPDATE: Hubby has found the name of this statue and it is called the Gefion Fountain. His way of searching is different from mine. He uses the map! Many thanks also to SEO for sharing his research and for prompting me with information in his comment below. I don’t need to write more about this statue.
Well, then, if you know the names of these statues, please feel free to inform me. Oh, there’s no statue in the last one but you find me focusing on taking pictures of something. That might as well be a statue of myself – someday. If you’re a traveler who loves statues and sculptures, you will not be disappointed of what you will see in Denmark.
A Day At The Reef
Remember the brief getaway that my friends and I were planning and that it could never push through because something would get in the way in one of us? Well, we finally made it past weekend. We crossed the border by boat just to be in Scandic The Reef before noon. It took more than three hours from Gothenborg harbour to Fredrikshamn harbour (Denmark) by an ordinary Stena Lines boat. From there we were aboard Stena Lines express boat for a two-hour sea cruising back home.
Scandic The Reef - Hotel and Resort
I did take some photos of us when we were swimming at the pool. It was not easy to take pictures of the whole area because there were people around that might be in the photos. I like the tropical atmosphere and the lightings inside. There are cold and hot dips and a small sauna in the corner. The bubble baths are warm and relaxing. The big pool is giving a sense of adventure in a tropic when the sound of thunder starts, then we can see waves coming while it rains over us. I did manage to take a video when the moment of thunders and waves came.
Though we were tired after hours in the pool, we were happy and smiling on our way home cos it was such a great adventure to be crossing the border for the second time.
Planning A Brief Getaway
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
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.
