Sharon researched "If you had one last thing to see or do in Copenhagen". Options included viewing a movie in an art nouveau theater, catching the latest opera, or visit a 175 year old amusement park. Our simple minds chose Tivoli Gardens which turned out to be more than a carney driven bastion of entertainment. Yes there are thrill rides for those seeking to test their strength from experiencing motion sickness but also very nice restaurants, beer gardens, games and stage shows all set into a beautifully landscaped quaint atmosphere. This is a bit like Disneyland but in a more simple joyful setting.
I was angling Sharon to join me on a roller coaster ride. If you know Sharon you also realize her propensity for motion sickness is swift so that suggestion was definitely ruled out...so was the folks tethered to the tower spinning around 500' in the air. My last plea was the Drop of Death where you were in a secured seat like the space shuttle then hoisted 2000 ft. in the air where you have a beautiful view of the city for 30 seconds before the world is pulled out from under you, The free fall was an exhilarating success without Sharon spraying the audience below. Admittedly, it's not bungee jumping from a bridge in South Africa but the challenge made Sharon a stronger person.
The sky turned dark ('ish, after all it was 11 pm) and we walked the winding pathways toward the exit catching a light show and a horse race before leaving the park via a quiet stroll down the streets of Copenhagen. We needed to return back to our room to prepare for the next day travel to the Faroe Islands.

So you actually did the death drop, Sharon? What a woman!
ReplyDeleteWe just went to Magic Mountain Six Flags in Cali this week and Jasmine did a similar ride. I had fun watching from afar. Enjoy your trip!
