Hi there

Thank you for your reply. We are taking the Cosmos 14 days tour which covers basically places like London, Amsterdam, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Paris, Belgium. Since this is Dream Destination I want to make best use of time and pls advise items to take from Toronto. I am a pure vegetarian. Should I take my rice cooker too.

Really appreciate your suggestion what all to include in my shopping list.

Hi
My name is Madhu and Iam a veg too but found it difficult in Europe, it would be best if you can carry your rice cooker and some chutneys or etc which you can either eat with rice or spread it over a bread.
In UK you will have no problem but in Europe it might be difficult.
Have a good time.

Hi Vijaya,

Don't know much about this Cosmos tour...but isn't your tour operator providing Indian Food (like they do in agencies like Thomas cook?)

In case not, then better to carry some ready to eat stuffs....and rice & some podis. But again. But carrying such heavy item on the tour for just 14 days...is another pain on its own!

See if you can get things like Thepla...which you just need to heat in tava. This might help you carry light!

Cheers

Hi Madhu
Thank you for your fb and your good wishes. I am sorry for my acknowledging late. I have not got my itinerary yet. I was trying to get maximum info.

Shall let you all know how it was when I get back.

Hi Jenz

Thank you for your fb. Breakfast I guess is included in the package. I am not sure about lunch / dinner.

Children dont want us to carry anything heavy. Shall tell my experience when I get back in July.

hi vijaya,
i saw ur tour details.as ur kids said plz dont carry much laguage.less laguage more comfort.the following i suggest u to tak along with u.
1-do take warm cloths---very windy weather here in europe
2-take some elephant chapatis and ready to eat rice items(instant biryani,fried rice..etc)as u get oven in ur hotel u can make adv out of it.
3-u wil find yougurt everywhere.try them
4-eat panini(its an italian veg snacks)if u hav to eat in a cafe.(apart from veg sandwitch)
5-try to dump ur carry bag with fruits.
6-just tak one pickle that suits both chapati and rice.
7-u can also try some donut and cakes(they do hav egg).
8-u get an option of pasta(veg) in italy its gut t taste.
9-u can also try for pitta bread along with jacket potato and baked beans
i suggest u to concetrate on seeing much ,food next
but if u r andhralite.....god help us(coz we lov food very much)
abt toranto-buy some blankets..they r gud there.try some antiques also.
