Thank, Polyesco.
It's good to see Mary on the job with Bendikte as well. (It has happened before though, weren't they on the job together in connection with a horse-event in Aachen, years ago?)
Tivoli is the second-oldest dedicated amusement park in the world. The oldest is Bakken, located in the northern part of Copenhagen.
Bakken however was more an amusement park for "the common folk" it was certainly not a place decent middle class, even many working class women, would show themselves.
And it was not a place you brought your teenage daughters or children, unless you stuffed their ears and shielded their eyes.
Nor was it a place you would feel at home if you were a teetotaler!
So in came Tivoli as an amusement park more aimed at the middle class and nice decent people, where you didn't mind being seen, on the contrary, and where you could safely go on an outing with your vicar.
For many years Tivoli was the "posh park" while Bakken was where the fun, in every possible definition of the word(!) was to be found.
Today Tivoli is still the more "posh" amusement park, in the sense that it is aimed very much a tourists (and so are the prices!) and it is more grandiose even today than Bakken.
And you still, to some extent, dress up, to go to Tivoli. As is evident with Mary and Benedikte.
But PH very much enjoyed going to Bakken as you know, wearing his schlager-singer outfits. ?
