<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oddly, elephant sightings are more frequent than you would think in the cool nordic climes of Copenhagen!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are moving, breathing ones in their own "healthy, stimulating environment" (but still an enclosure!) designed by <a href="http://fosterandpartners.com/projects/elephant-house-copenhagen-zoo/">Foster + Partners</a>. This apparently more enlightened and innovative example of zoo architecture has been home to a few Asian elephants since 2008 at the Copenhagen Zoo... but I'm sure they would rather be free where they can roam and frolic to their hearts' content!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">we sense your sadness and boredom...</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But perhaps more well-known than the sad live ones at the zoo are the 4 life-size stone elephants bearing an imposing tower at the gateway to the former Carlsberg Brewery complex, which is now being urbanized and integrated as a new district of the city. Some of the old brewery buildings are re-purposed into residential and commercial ventures, including a cool new hotel, <a href="http://brochner-hotels.com/hotel-ottilia/">Hotel Ottilia</a> (where we stayed one weekend).</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The four elephants with the much too heavy load were dedicated to four of the children of Carl Jacobsen, the son of the founder of the brewery, Jacob Christian Jacobsen, who named his company Carlsberg after his son. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(Carl's wife Ottilia is now commemorated by the hip and happening hotel!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://steelhousecopenhagen.com/">Steel House Copenhagen</a></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> bills itself as a "luxury hostel", which admittedly it is perhaps more upscale than most generic hostels, but the descriptive of "luxury" is questionably relative! It is, however, well-located on the edge of the Vesterbro area and on a quieter street next to the Lakes (and my double room on the top floor under the STEEL sign has a small terrace overlooking the end lake, as well as the nearby iconic SAS building by Arne Jacobsen). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This steel-clad building was originally the headquarters for the Danish Union of Metalworkers, and the admirable task of re-purposing it into a hostel was undertaken with some care to preserving the industrial and minimalist character without being too institutional in the comfort zone. I must confess that I had one long night of the most satisfying sleep here, but that could also be attributable to the cumulative effect of days of power walking!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Located diagonally across central Copenhagen to near the waterfront with the Little Mermaid and a block from the Designmuseum (which my room overlooked onto its courtyard with the prunus in full bloom!) is the more conventional <a href="http://guldsmedenhotels.com/babette/">Hotel Babette Guldsmeden</a> with a complete opposite of decor aesthetic from Steel House. Although my attic room (in the white building on the right above) was only slightly larger than the private room at Steel House, its rate was almost twice as much. But the neighbourhood is lovely with stately buildings on elegant streets leading to the Royal Palace.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I arrived in Rotterdam with a 75-year-old story on my mind, a story that my father-in-law had told our family many times and then written about vividly in his ongoing memoir. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He was sixteen years old when he witnessed the first German Luftwaffe landing on the River Maas while standing on the Oosterkade bank of the river directly across from Noordereiland (North Island) where I was staying at a lovely AirBnB (and where my father-in-law's father had his office as the manager of a ship-building company).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">His brother had even managed to photograph the event before his camera was confiscated by a Dutch policeman who was soon shot down by the invading Germans. A few days later, Rotterdam was bombed into submission and the Battle of the Netherlands was quickly over, but Holland remained occupied until 1945.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The camera was retrieved from the dead policeman and returned to the family later on that same momentous day, but the film had been removed - and to this day, my father-in-law does not know if it had been destroyed or stored away and forgotten about, proof of a personal historical experience now perhaps lost forever.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Temporary festival screens were installed in the <b>PAKHUISMEESTEREN</b>, a long disused warehouse built during the war years, and now in the process of being re-purposed into a hotel to be completed later this year. I accidentally wandered into the official opening of construction in an adjoining space when I went to see what was showing on the multiple screens, (but I was not allowed to photograph the celebratory proceedings).</span></div>
