On a very first visit to a place my digital camera hasn't been before I look for two things: a lot of the obvious and even more of the unexpected. There is a whole visualization taking place as my eye travels through features I wouldn't mind seeing day in day out. By using the lens cleverly, stopping at points my inner landscape aligns with, on this occasion I've met really good ones - distant land waking up to the milkiest fog I had a chance to witness while hiding from chilly winds with hot coffee and a toastie. In this village, without a doubt I could feel local. I guess I crave the kind of serenity that can only come from a desolate spot, the creamier sky the better. Unlike
my friend for whom every city noise matters. So we go beyond well traveled paths, we may sustain a bruise but never make it back the same way we took on. Ask my child, she's more into it than resonates with my mummy confidence. We dress for the unexpected - rain as we know comes in a lot of disguise. We're not afraid to ask too -- for directions and the best local snack (as long as we remain anonymous and not annoying). Should you wish to find yourself conquering another mountain, the next town or village, try this advice: queue where everyone else does - if there's a line, there is a purpose to it, eat here but order the drink elsewhere -- there is a possibility of a little dehydration on a really hot day but this way you visit two new spots on one occasion and will hardly wonder why you bothered. And be able to carry your life travel essentials so that you can still carry your child. Rarely happens these days but this advice keeps my backpacks slightly lighter.
It was chilly and windy here on the outskirts of the isle, our minds liked the extremes but the bodies weren't exceptionally prepared for it. I loved that too, the less pleasurable part of our trip and wouldn't even wanna try to change it one bit. Nothing turns out well when overly planned, weather forecast is usually more or less ignored when we're out and about, flowing through places. Me and my girl together, the perfect travel companion, brightest nail varnish spotter, sweetest cuddler. There just isn't an option to choose things to do on my own. Not in this lifetime, that's for sure.
What's your favourite way of traveling? If life's an adventure, what are you looking forward to when out and about? I hope today feels fresh and fabulous to you. x
