Mate I'm just not a hallmark type of guy.
I don't want to do rome ect other than for food and wine.
If I said to you. Watch a session of the ashes at leeds or see big ben. What are you choosing?
Drink Guinness with some blondes or see stonehenge?
When travelling, it's about experiences. The one place that got me was the Taj Mahal though (hypocrisy).
But I didnt actually like being there.
Everyone lines up for an hour, and spends the day there. I think I was there for 45 min - 1 hour.
But it did hit me later. About 8 hours later.
I'm with you VC. Had the worst time traveling with a friend who planned the whole trip so that we'd visit
every tourist attraction. Felt a bit "empty" afterwards.
On the flip side, love feeling "lost" in places like Vietnam and India, where you find interesting ways of communication to get by. Gimme awesome street food with the locals over fine dining too.
Reckon your kids would love Vietnam VC. My nephew, who was 14 at the time, met me over there and still says it was a life changing time for him. He's such a cool young man nowdays, makes me cry when he talks about it.
