Day 3: Copenhagen Part 2 Tivioli

When we got back to Copenhagen, we headed to the hostel and dropped our stuff. To Tivoli we went. Tivoli is the famous old amusement park in Copenhagen and a three block walk from the hostel. Our Copenhagen card got us free entrance. The Copenhagen card is a pass that gets you into various museums and attractions and also the buses, metro and trains. It costs quite a bit but was worth it because it paid for itself. Pretty much everything we've done except the Viking museum was on the card. Jeez, I sound like a commercial. Moving on. Tivoli was awesome, amazing and a total blast. Different sections had different themes, there was a Chinese area, an Indian area, a Caribbean area. There were beautiful gardens and fountains. Of course there were rides. There weren't as many as elitches but the rides they had were great. They had a swing ride that went about a football field in the air, you sat in a chair and swung in a large circle. It didn't make you dizzy but gave you a great view of Copenhagen, well if you could see, I had to take off my glasses.

We also did the big roller coaster, which was short but a great adrenaline rush. It was a dragon themed one and it did a loop-de-loop and stomach jumping drop. I rode it four times! We also did a more tame coaster that didn't go upside down but went through the trees. Seriously, I reached out and grabbed some leaves.

We did the drop ride, you know what I'm talking about: you go straight up in the air and then it drops you. It was fun; you are weightless for a few seconds. 

I got on a thing called the monsoon. It went up and around in a circle a couple stories high. your feet dangle and you face looking toward the middle of the circle, it's hard to describe but it was really fun. I should mention that my dad didn't ride any rides, any kind of ride makes him sick for days. He wandered around the park and drank a beer. Since we were there on a monday night there were really short lines, I think the longest we waited was about three rounds of a ride. 

After riding for awhile, we decide to get supper. It was about 9, surprisingly. There was an asian noodle place in the park that our guide book recommended. It was very good. I ate probably 98% of mine with chopsticks, a feat I am slightly proud of because about a third of mine was salad. After supper, we decided to head back to the hostel. I decided to do one more ride on the Monsoon and  I met everybody else back at the hostel a little bit later. I then wrote up the first half of the day.
