Travelling has been a passion with me, and I have travelled extensively, both in India and around the world. I have researched online and through guide-books on specific 'must visit' sites at each place I have visited, prepared budgets and time-plans both for me, my immediate family and my close friends.
My sample writing of my visit to Copenhagen that may interest you is reproduced:-
On 17 June, assured that we would be back at Amsterdam on the last leg of our itinerary, we left early morning on SAS for Bergen via Copenhagen, where we had a 14 hours layover, which, in retrospect was enough for a tourist balancing time, budget and priorities.
The first impression of Copenhagen was of flatness and space……….a spread out city, sparsely populated (six lakhs pop!!!), green, green, green (including the tops of buildings and churches) and not really a tourist hot-spot, but nonetheless interesting. After all, it is an ancient, the gate out for the sea-faring Norse/ Vikings of the long-boats fame, of their gods Odin and Thor, and as Goscinny and Uderzo claimed, the home of a race that felt no fear, only pain (Asterix and the Vikings). Their raids of the northern coast of Scotland a thousand years back possibly changed the genetic configuration of the island for good. No wonder Nelson famously put the binocs to his blind eye to justify his total destruction of the Danish Navy in the year 1801, in possibly his hardest fought battle.
