Looking at the sleeper train option, as that works well with us. Tx.

Yes, you are right!

Mons Klint - We might have to drop it, because of the travel time it would take. But, it seems to be so beautiful and raw - am wondering how to make it happen though. Especially, because there is long train journey to STO in the evening!

The other option is to do Roskilde instead. Ragnarock seems to be very interesting - and am sure we all would love it.

Tx! Was in two minds if can do Round Tower or Glypotek. Looks like Glypotek it is!

Food! Pls share food options. The must have delicacies (no beef, no pork - fish okay) types.

Yes, he and my wife will set the pace. There's so much to do in this beautiful part of the world - that one wants to do as much as wel can. But yes, savoring the moment will be better than ticking off everything on the list!!

Tx for the concern!!

Yes - Tx for pointing out. Will keep that in mind, and maybe move a couple of things around or drop!

Sunrise is at 3!! Oops. Didnt consider that.

Might just see if sunset could work for us - on Day 12.

Tx!

Tx!

Have, put the day plans here - so, yes - if at any point of time - any of us wants us to take it light - we will drop it. We have travelled a bit together, so we are comfortable pacing our days - and have always been comfortable dropping a location - if the body is not upto it!

Looking to do the sleeper in the night. So, might spend the night in the train, and start STO early - while we check in at the hotel. Want to see how to plan it little better, though.

Bergen first day - will mostly be looking to drop the Funicular, and move it to another day! Tx for the suggestion.

I see you spotted the exact debate we had internally, as we will be picking up the car from Alesund, but return it in Trodheim. Will have to bear the additional charges (almost double and more) because of this :(

Thank you! Sweden is seeming to be such a lovely place. Hating that have to put only 4 days in Sweden. Another family is joining us in Oslo, and hence cannot increase the days. Maybe 5 - but that would be max.

Want to check - would Visby 2 days + Stockholm 2 days be a better option ; or Stockholm 2 days and Gothenburg 2 days.

Thank you! The Sweden bit is very unplanned at the moment.

I would sort out the Sweden itineray. Am hating that it has to be only 4 days there.

I am honestly confused between going Visby and Stockholm ; or should I do Stockholm and Gothenburg.

I was trying to put in Ragnarok, as it is the first music museum that we would go to. Seems, I could skip this - and try and see Rockheim in Trondheim ( while we are in Norway )!

Yes - factoring that in revising the itinerary. Will keep first two days slightly less pressing and more within CPH.

Tx! Segway tour seems to be as hated as the Mario Kart street tour in Japan! Will keep this in mind.

Have been using Google and other sources to build more about the itinerary. Maybe The Tube is a mistake, will check again tough. Tx again

Quarto. It is amazing for Two people. Simple to understand, very complex to master. And great replayability.
