The delights of Copenhagen Ever since our youngest daughter Katherine and her family moved from Sydney to CPH for work we've been regular visitors; indeed I'm going back there in August while Katherine will be home for a short time in early July. So I really did enjoy reading your tales of your visit to CPH and the lovely photos. And as we spent Christmas 2018 there, during we time we also visited Stockholm for a couple of days, winter in Scandinavia is not something I'd want to put up with year in, year out. But of course to visit in winter is different from actually living there. Thanks for this delightful piece about CPH!!
Thanks for the comments; and thanks for the tip about linking to past blogs.
It's easy to love India when reminiscing and looking at photos. Less so when travelling through it.
Good to see you blogging again We've missed your blogs. Sounds like you are working on a large project with an impossibility to answer. You've found an off the beaten path location that sounds nice. India is one of those countries it is easy to have a love hate relationship with.
Must see... Khajuraho, Panna and Orchha have been on the 'places to visit' list for my past dozen trips to India, but I don't seem to have ever fitted them in. Having now read your thoughts, maybe I'll try harder to do so next time!
P.S. A small tip: To link to one of your previous blogs, instead of putting in the entire URL (which readers have to carefully copy and paste into their browser), just go to the blog concerned, copy its number, including the square brackets (you'll find it under your profile on the right of the page - this one is [blog=1028155], your previous one on 'The Ups and Downs...' was [blog=822842]). Just paste the entire [blog=xxxxxx] bit into your text and it will show the blog title and be a clickable link to it at the same time.
You listed three glorious bits and nine horrendous bits... sounds about right. I was turned off at 8 years old watching buzzards devour a dead body. My Dad loved the Himalayas, visiting many times, including Nepal and Tibet.
Transporting salt I've seen this scene in Mali...but not in Ethiopia. Fabulous pic...takes me there! I've posted it in 'Faces in Places' thread in the Photography Forum and some of your camels in the 'Camels' thread. check 'em out.

Zion Wow. The striations in this pic are geological wonders. We arrived in Zion during a polar vortex greeted by a deer and tumbling snow and were blown away by its beauty. Your pic highlights the diversity of the SW USA parks that are truly awesome.
I'm pleased you found Americans really nice... even the ones who stay home! You picked one of the best "loops" to travel, and your future plans sound great, too.
Belfast Town Hall Thanks for the great photos and description of your travels reminding me of our time in that neck of the woods! I remember when we were in Belfast there were signs on lamp-posts near the Belfast Town Hall stating "George Bush in not welcome here" which I have to admit I was rather taken with.
Lads from Yorkshire & Portuguese tarts As someone who was born in Scarborough I was delighted to read that all the lads from Yorkshire behaved themselves! AND as someone who is very partial to a Portuguese tart or two I'm pleased that you managed to down a few of them! Last but not least, congratulations to you all for your exemplary behaviour on such a momentous stag weekend!!
Feels like I was just there. It’s always fun to read a blog on a place you've just been. Reliving some of the same experiences and seeing it again through someone else’s eyes. Great pictures too. Thanks for the read.
Sri Lanka Loved your post on Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has been compared to the larger neighbour for centuries (it's hard not to), and there's always a slight competitiveness that's simmering away just under the surface - not that different to the bristling of a younger sibling I suppose :) Totally agree with you about the polite toque macaques, it was so lovely to see a population of macaques not too displaced by deforestation, and as yet uncorrupted by tourism!
A highlights package of trips generally focusing on one place or aspect. This had been my rule since starting the blog in 2007: "Fewer blogs are appearing seeing as, for some reason, I decided to never write more than one blog per country unless I lived there. Having got around quite a bit, I'm now revisiting many countries, hence fewer blogs." However, it's getting trickier to get to completely new countries so I decided I might break that rule on occasion. The PhD fortunately didn't curtail travelling with research in sub-Saharan Africa and India as well as the chance to attend conferences w... full info
