Around Copenhagen - Tivoli Gardens II

KPLU Viking Jazz: Tivoli Gardens

I think that's Hans Christian Andersen's Castle in the background.

KPLU Viking Jazz: Tivoli Gardens and some of its native wildlife

A real, live animal! Definitely not Disneyland.

Another part of the gardens, from which the ducks had just waddled.

KPLU Viking Jazz: Tivoli Gardens Marching Band

And then the marching band came along, at quite a good pace too.

The two men at the left in dark uniforms are part of the "security detail" who make sure the path is clear for the band to continue.

By now it was time to eat. So we entered the restaurant, and extrapolating from my Disneyland experience, was not expecting much of a meal. However, it was excellent.

Playing "silly buggers" with Jim. One of Annette's photos.

Somewhere in the system, our server didn't know that we were going to the concert, and time ran out before we had dessert. SO, we were invited to return after the concert!

I didn't take any photos during the concert, but this one was before it started. There are flaps above the chandelier which close to seal out the external light.

The concert was fabulous, and well worth putting up with the rain! Afterwards we returned to Perlen to finish our dinner, and were even given a complimentary glass of wine. Such great service and food in an amusement park - I was impressed.

With Joey and Barbara, and "the map". My guess is we were figuring out the return route to the hotel. Another one of Annette's photos.

Joey and I decided to walk back to the hotel, but the others, for various good reasons, decided to take cabs. But before leaving, a few night time shots.

KPLU Viking Jazz: Tivoli Gardens at night

Particularly cute are the columns of water in the fountain - they are plastic tubes with bubbles blown through them. And at night, illuminated from the bottom.

The walkway out of the park. Note that it's still raining!
