6 Ideas for the Rain Do Not Ruin Your Trip
July 1, 2010
There are few things that bother us in the holiday but a day of rain is above them all. Worse are several days with rain. But do not despair, here are six options of things you can do when it’s raining outside and think of seas and packing.
Before advance tickets and hotel to cancel the account, it is best to calm down and see that although the climate is one hundred percent unfavorable, if we went on vacation is to relax and enjoy even more when it comes to a city not known. If we are together it is easier to lift the spirits and find an activity to keep us occupied and amused, but even when we are alone it is possible. Let’s see what things we can take this in mind and others that we do when everything is designed to pack.
Late Cultural events
In all cities, however small they may be there are museums and houses of culture. It can be boring and go outside in the pouring rain to visit a museum, sometimes it seems the best option. But it is very common in this type of space outlining the history of the city, with old photos and debris. In Europe, the supply of this type is very juicy, especially the amount of castles and ancient buildings that offer visitors all kinds of samples. In Latin America, these shows reflect their pre-Columbian history, colonial life and liberating revolutions, with paintings of battles and relics of that era. It is logical that with a beach within walking distance such departures do not we get excited, but a rainy day can help us learn and become familiar with the environment around us.
Goodies
For many, it’s the best option. In any tourist destination the cuisine is always great and wide enough to surprise in each bakery or restaurant we arrive. We will have to leave the shelter and get wet a few minutes, but the rewards will certainly be very welcome. If you are in a foreign country, it will become an adventure, even when the sky is completely clear. Knowing the food of a country is to know its culture and people, so I better go to a big market and test the delicacies sold there. If you have cabins with kitchen do not hesitate to visit the supermarket or department store and buy those things that seem appealing and are willing to try. The result can be disastrous if you do not have a recipe, but the experience will be very funny. If you prefer to go to a restaurant, ask for a recommendation to people passing in the street, they know they will inform the best option that fits your pocket.
Games
This is always the first idea that comes to mind when we travel together. Hopefully everyone to have occurred to keep a deck of cards dice or dominoes to pass the day playing. But will have to do a lottery to choose the unfortunate that the rain will come in a trade to buy a deck of cards and start betting. If you know of several games, this activity will be busy all afternoon. When no cards but pencil and paper, can test their mental agility games like Tutti-frutti or Hangman. And if all are creative and like to invent stories, the best game for a rainy day is the Exquisite Corpse. It is a simple game: each one begins writing five lines of what was happening, then fold the paper, leaving the last line in the open and passes it to the person next door who only see the last line and on that basis should write another five lines and then pass it on to someone else. The result is the most hilarious story they have read.
Film and theater
Offers film and theater can be very high and an excellent choice to avoid the rain, but surely nobody will want to leave the hotel to find out what movies are giving the people in the cinema. It is best if you get to a destination and travel brochures accumulate primarily target the tourist office. There they will find a dozen of entertainment can make rain or shine. If you have the program of film and the theater will be saved, but will have to be the pilot and the umbrella to the main street, where they are usually places of entertainment. This is a great choice for traveling alone and an opportunity to meet new people in line at the theater.
Shopping
Buy gifts for friends and family, regional sweets and souvenirs of holidays is usually an activity that lets one last time and that takes several hours. What’s better than a rainy day to go shopping? Businesses are open despite the inclement weather and after shopping you can have a rest at the cafes in the main street. If you’re in a foreign country, businesses that purchase prices displayed in the window because sometimes it is common for foreigners speculating traders charging more.
A bus tour in
Do not be swayed by the temptation to stay locked in the hotel. Even under a torrential storm can tour the city, not on foot, but within the public transportation in vans with a tour guide or, if they have one car. The vast majority of public transport have a regularly scheduled fixed route that will be important to know beforehand to avoid having to wait in a long time outdoors. The bus is always cheaper than a taxi and goes slow, you can go from north to south sitting comfortably enjoying the view a little watery, which is better; the route is circular, so you always return to the starting point. Remember, before making any trip, be sure that your visit is short-haul and mischief have to pass before the pastry.
The activities will depend on the tastes of each. While the more intellectual of insurance to buy a book and pass it in the hotel read, the more anxious to go around the city and the most fun to spend the afternoon playing cards. But if you have the terrible fate of not a day passed but three or four in the rain, and knows that they can pass equally well and safe return of many stories to tell.
