Today is about the sea and man's connection with it with a visit to Esbjerg's maritime museum and a look at the sculpture 'man meets the sea'.

Man meets the Sea (Danish: Mennesket ved Havet) is a monument of four 9 metre (27 feet) tall white males, located north of Esbjerg by Sædding Beach on the south-west coast of Denmark.
The sculpture was designed by Svend Wiig Hansen and installed on 28th October 1995.

The maritime museum consists of 3 areas. The seal sanctuary, aquarium and maritime exhibition.

At the end of the day we took advantage of the camp site jacuzzi which we had exclusive use of for an hour.
Camping is such a hard way of living !
