Halloween in Tivoli.
October 23, 2009 @ 11:33 AM | Permalink
Before I left for Norway, I made a little trip to Tivoli all by myself. Tivoli had been closed for a week, renovating the rides and decorating for Halloween, which lasts from the 9th until the 18th of October. I’ve been in Tivoli when they have their Christmas-theme before, but never during Halloween. -And I have to say, it was really nice!
The ground was a bit too cold for my docksiders, and I realised that I would have to swap them for my fugly, but very snug Uggs. Inside Tivoli, there were pumpkins galore, and lots of those scare crows with pumpkin-heads, there was lots of straw littering the ground, and of course the odd Grim Reaper complete with a savage-looking meat cleaver. The smell of hot churros was everywhere, and I would have bought some if the line wasn’t half a mile long. Sadly, I discovered that the Chaplon tea house was closed, because a little stall selling Christmas-objects d’arts have taken it’s place and will stubbornly remain there until New Year. I don’t want a Santa Claus figuerine in October, stall-lady! I want my chai latté!
Also, I discovered a fun little shop that sells everything from Kelim-bags to sparkling wine, to antiques and scary-looking witches (especially for the occasion, I hope). There were also musicians dressed as scare crows playing big band-music, and workers dressed as pumpkins and witches dancing with all the children – this picturesque scene could’ve been taken straight from a movie. Everything was so colourful, with lots of bright colours such as orange, red, yellow and green. Such warm, comforting colours. With ambiance such as this, you really don’t mind the frosty ground too much.
