You’ve dog-eared nearly every page of your guidebook. You have recommendations from your local friends. You trip is planned and your itinerary is teeming with activities, meals and tours. But what happens if you arrive and you you just feel like having a leisurely day? Well, that’s an easy one. Don’t do a damn thing!
Who says every minute of your trip has to be filled with a cultural experience? Sometimes, the best way to truly get a feel for a place is to spend an afternoon in a cafe. Or to just lay in a park. If you lived there, that’s how you would want to spend a day, right? Don’t feel guilty or lazy.
There will be plenty of time to see the sights and defy death. Toss the guidebook aside and lay in the grass with a newspaper. Or order that second bottle of wine. A few hours of leisure during the day may even keep you going through all those wild nights.
