Would You Rather Wednesday!
When
deciding on where to go next for a vacation, a lot of factors come in to play.
What is your budget, what sights are you interested in seeing, how many days you
have, etc. Though when ultimately given the choice, are you someone who prefers
to take in the sights and sounds of a new city or the tranquillity and nature of
a new island?
Visiting
fast paced cities can be very exciting. There is always so much to see and do
from museums to zoos. Transportation is easy via subway, taxi, or bus and a
variety of hotels are available to choose from. There are often top notch
restaurants as well as shopping. You could likely spend hours just people
watching.
Visiting an
island is an often a quieter and calmer experience. Schedules and timetables
are thrown out the window and sun and lounging are priority. You can see a lot
of genuine culture if you wander away from the main hotel/resort zone. Fresh
fruit, snorkelling, and sunbathing are readily available. Ocean view hotel
rooms or garden view villas are just some of the possibilities for accommodations.
Our choice?
This is a tough
one. Drinking wine over a long and leisurely dinner in Madrid’s main square,
while people watching, is a highlight from our European travels. However,
zooming around the quiet island of Camiguin (Philippines) eating barbecued eel from
an old lady at the market and swimming in a fresh water natural pool with
locals may win…
