That could have turned into a nightmare as well but you must be blessed so I'd rather you be careful. Trust me I've seen things because of the things I tend to watch on TV due to my research purpose, so always better be safe than sorry. Do not ever hitchhike.
I was actually going to ask you next that if you always go with the guided tour or sometimes you go on your own, but your last post answered my question. See, I wouldn't want to go on bus trips either simply because of the reasons you've stated. I'd like to stop and look, enjoy the beauty rather than be on someone else' time and get off and do what we are told. That would take away my real reasons for traveling, so I can totally relate.
And totally agree about having the ideal travel-mate. I like enjoying life and I enjoy food, so I won't mind at all spending money on such things especially while traveling, otherwise i just don't see the point of it.
Traveling alone has got to be the most adventurous and exciting but I've noticed that I tend to draw trouble so that's always a worrisome factor for me.
I always try to steer clear of trouble by preparing my trips the best way possible. I print maps, book everything in advance (sometimes it is not possible and sometimes I also regret having done that because it makes it almost impossible to change your plans in case you find a certain place particularly beautiful and want to stay longer) and make sure I don't stand out too much as a tourist. Hahaha. Fortunately it has worked out for me so far.
too good. I have enjoyed looking at these pictures for the 3rd time now.
Yeah, Dubrovnik has something really special although it is just a museum city and usually packed with tourists.
Nikki this place looks like heaven on earth:
just an amazing landscape.
It really is heaven on earth especially the old town around the bridge.
The rest is nothing too spectacular except for this building:
It is a typical Ottoman-style building with a beautiful garden a bit farther away from the old town.
