Now I have never been a big fan of holidays that involve things like walking, fishing or anything involving real activity. My opinion was that I do a lot of activity at work and would rather just sit on a sunny beach and enjoy the glorious sunshine or even sit around a pool in a nice cosy villa.
However this all changed when I was invited to go on what I thought to be one of those waste of time active holidays however when I received the invite I had a bit of holiday left over and thought screw it I will just go. After booking it I was then told the news that it wasn’t just an active holiday but one of those walking holidays.
When I heard all of this it did not sound very good to me at all but I managed to get on with it and push through all of my worries. I had a change of heart as soon as I started the journey, I could not believe it. One of the brilliant things about this trip was the fact i could get out of the city environment and into the wild. It is so amazing to sit and watch wildlife as it carries on with its everyday behaviour.
We had no troubles at all with our suitcases or anything like that as we were walking from one inn to the next everyday with our main cases always one step ahead of us, being dropped off at the next stop. All we had to take is a day backpack with the essential foods and medical stuff if needed. I also had no trouble organising a fridge for my Diabetic gear which was a great relief to me as it is something I am always worrying about when I go away.
We actually went on a Costa Rica Holidays but there are so many other active and walking holidays out there to choose from, it changed the way I thought about the world and it may be worth going on one yourself.
