Hal's Impromptu European Tour!

[hallelujah]

Well, I'm still on it, in more ways than one, but expecting/planning/hoping to return home tomorrow to London for the game - maybe - but, in the meantime, where am I now (city)?



My money is on david.

[Edmond]

where am I now?

If this doesn't draw Nev out nothing will.

[hallelujah]

If this doesn't draw Nev out nothing will.

Should have edited it to make it harder.

Anyway, skol!



(No googling the address on the menu and cheating. Not that any of you would do that )

Attachment doesn't work so bit hard to guess. The wirrell? Assuming someone stole it.

Nev is pouting. Being fired from lead mod is a pretty big hit

And I don't mean Antwerp.

[hallelujah]

Danemark - do you feel a wee bit short

That's the easy part.

City (without googling the address that I noticed was on the bar menu when I posted it )?

I'm holding my own with the height thing, but my missus calls it the land of giants.

Kroner

About 70p a tin. If you shop around in the discount bin, you can make a meal out of it and still have money left over for beer.

The unique dip was of course designed by the great David Bravo Bordas and exactly 76m from my porthole

Havnebadet is a new area retrieved from the water of the port. It is an elongated platform following the direction of the canal which is juxtaposed to the central part of the pre-existing Havneparken. The new platform, which is completely covered with treated pine slats, has an almost rectangular perimeter 25 metres wide and 90 metres long. The surface is interrupted by four large openings of different shapes and sizes which define four swimming pools. The largest, 86 metres long and 8 metres wide, runs the length of the western edge of the platform and is designed for strictly sporting swimming. The other pools, closer to the Havneparken lawns, have more relaxing or recreational functions. The one at the far north-eastern end, with a slanting perimeter, is the deepest. It is equipped with a large wooden block with steps which, like the prow of a ship, rises four metres above the platform and can be used for diving. The central pool, rectangular and 1.2 metres deep, is designed for ball games such as volleyball or water paddle. Lastly, the pool at the south-western end, which is quite shallow, has a slightly sloping bottom to make it easier for small children, elderly people or those with some physical disability to go in and out.

A watch tower which looks like the funnel of a ship is strategically located at the centre of the long side of the platform and surveys the whole facility without blind corners. A series of handrails make for easy access and possible routes for people who have walking difficulties or the blind. Some building elements recall the industrial past of Islands Brygge: the pergola which has been installed in the Havneparken is made of steel beams recovered from a demolished factory and the inverted hull of the old Pinen ferry serves as the roof for a drinks kiosk.

In summer the baths are open every day of the week, except for occasional times when heavy rain increases the contamination of the canal and the authorities are obliged to close it. Although admission to the facility is free, for safety reasons a maximum of 600 people are allowed in at the same time.

Assessment

The concept of swimming pool, whether public or private, usually involves a topological operation of marking out precincts of water on land. In Havnebadet we find the strange circumstance that that operation was preceded by a marking out of land on the water. That can be seen as an inversion -perversion- of the rule and as the addition of a degree of topological complexity that enriches the relation between container and content. Indeed the Havnebadet pools are islands of water on an island of land. In any case the facility takes full advantage of the echo between the contained water and the containing water when the citizens can enjoy a salubrious, accessible and safe bathe without losing the public, urban and open context of a canal so full of significance for its city.

That's a good price for baked beans in Scandinavia Hal, I would go for it. You're looking at 15 Kroner a tin in Norway.
