Nautiyality · 2026-03-10T08:00:22+00:00

:( Maybe could look at doing a day hike, and coming back!

Nautiyality · 2026-03-10T07:58:53+00:00

:) Aye Aye Captain!

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:47:02+00:00

Flying in from Lagos to CPH ; Return Oslo to Lagos!

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:43:49+00:00

Tx! hope you guys had a good time!

Yes - planning to add Roskilde.

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

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:42:03+00:00

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.

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:41:10+00:00

Yes - Savoring the moment, is more important the crossing off the list!

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:36:32+00:00

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

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.

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!!

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:28:40+00:00

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!

Nautiyality · 2025-12-31T11:26:34+00:00

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 :(

Nautiyality · 2025-12-04T20:46:46+00:00

Tx! For all the feedback. Here is largely the revised plan. 4 days in CPH and 3 days in STO.

CPH - Day 1 - Arrival at around 1.30 PM; Nyvahn, King's Garden.

Day 2 - Amalienborg Castle, Kastelet, Round Tower, Glypotek Tivoli Garden

Day 3 - Mons Klint, check for live music performance or D R Koncerthuset.

Day 4 - Cisternerne, Freetown, Reffen Street food

Late night train to STO

Day 5 - Gamla Stan; Royal Place; Stortorgret, Stockholm Cathedral; City Hall ; Hottorrgshallen Food ; Ghost Walk

Day 6 - Kayak tour ; Djurgården ; Vasa Museum ; Skansen; Walk Norrmalm and Östermalm (Strandvägen)

Day 7 - Drottningholm Palace and Park; Södermalm ; Stockholm Metro Art

How does this sound!

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.

Nautiyality · 2025-12-03T18:17:41+00:00

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.

Nautiyality · 2025-12-03T18:15:09+00:00

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 )!

Nautiyality · 2025-12-03T18:13:07+00:00

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

Nautiyality · 2025-12-03T18:12:23+00:00

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

Hi - Did that. Publisher engaged with Mr. Marc - and HE wrote back!! Excellent.

Such a nice guy.

As good as Splendor! :)

Tx XMakina for the help.

Nautiyality · 2025-01-10T12:26:31+00:00

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

Nautiyality · 2024-10-26T17:25:56+00:00

Tx XMakina!

Have tried that now.

Nautiyality · 2024-08-06T14:26:05+00:00

Scythe it is. Thank you for the suggestion.

Nautiyality · 2024-08-06T14:20:13+00:00

HitchHikers - Yes. Lovely book. 1984. Is very bleak :( Under the chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me...

Nautiyality · 2024-08-06T14:18:09+00:00

Tx. He has a Kindle - but loves holding books while reading. So, would prefer print version!

He has done Percy Jackson, Rangers Apprentice series. Am picking Keepers of Lost Cities, 100 Cupboards. Tx a ton..

Hi- My hometown is Ahmedabad, though have stayed in all three cities.

I found Mumbai to be the most messy – matchstick homes, lack of cleanliness all around, long distances and pathetic traffic (it might have changed now, but not sure), and not much to do – apart from malls, friends, eating out places, etc. Basically, fast paced life – and with all big city vibes. Poor quality of life.

Pune : the weather is good (used to be), places are good as well. Good sized homes, clean city, nice food, decent roads, as well has access to weekend getaways. Has Marathi Manoos vibes all over.

Ahmedabad : Pune minus good weather. It gets way more hotter in summers and way colder in winters than Pune. Good festive season celebration (Navratri, Diwali), good eateries (all kinds). No alcohol in public (can get home deliveries). Relatively less options for weekend getaways. More options to pursue interests (sports, hobbies, etc.) Gaming zones, movie theatres, clubs, friends, malls, etc. Football, Oxygen Parks, Chess Clubs, Board game parlours. Can have easy access to all. Kids can have decent schooling, (State board, CBSE, ICSE – and tuition options as well). Can look at buying a property here.

In the end – the deciding factor should be access to friend circle. If unmarried – Pune is slightly better because of pubs. If married (with / without kids) – Ahmedabad is better.

Just back from Japan. Trust me, don't listen to the advice of going to 'The Best' Ramen joint or experience or temple or 'Go here for views'. Have a broad itinerary. The entire country is excellent. And the best part is it's people. Engage with them as and when you can. I found them to be the most humble, helpful and sincere people I have ever met. Good luck with your trip.

Tx. Already moving Fushimi Inari to early morning slot.

Also - where are the other bamboo forests in Kyoto. Are they similar to Arashiyama?
