An old school amusement park in the heart of town

After our quick crepe meal, we made our way to Tivoli Park.

It is an amusement park that has been around for a long time. It is located right next to the main train station, and was quite a popular place to be on Friday nights.

One reason for that is every Friday night there is a concert in the park. This Friday's selection was Dune (with accents over the u and e), a Danish rock band started by a handful of teenagers. The crowd was pumped to see them.

It was a beautiful old park, exceptional as the sun was setting over the old buildings ahead.

We found a fantastic candy store. They had more lollipop types than I could count. All huge and spiraled with different colors. Minnie and Murat partook, with some candy floss and a candied apple, respectively.

I tried some of the local specialty of salt licorice. Umm, ugh. This was salty. And full of licorice! Ok, so it was exactly as advertised. It was still not very good and very hard to eat.

We also joined in on the amusement. Minnie and I rode the Demon, a roller coaster that has been a bit outmatched by recent improvements in the states and so was a quick scare but nothing serious. All three of us then took the fairy tale journey through a score of Hans Christian Andersen stories. Much like "It's a Small World" at Disneyland, we sat in little carts, magic trunks, actually, and were shepherded through story after story.

It was a fantastic end to our time in Tivoli and a perfectly Danish experience. Some of the stories I knew well, though didn't know that Andersen was behind them, like The Princess and The Pea.
