here’s no controlling or escaping the weather. You just have to deal with the thunder when it decides to clap.
Over coffee, I began to think of lazy days of travel forced upon by the rain. What did we used to do?
Go Hiking
Believe it or not we spent plenty of days on our travels hiking in the rain.
Your hike is planned, and sometimes you have booked and paid for a local guide. Time does not allow for you to wait for a few days to see if it passes.
Throw on the boots, put on your hiking rain jacket and go slip sliding in the mud.
Hiking in the rain, can be great fun and brings a new perspective to your outdoor adventure. Besides it makes a great story to tell.
Spend the day Reading and Writing
Grab a hammock, or a comfy chair in your hostel lounge area, and chill out for a day of reading or writing.
These can be some of your most relaxing days. Catch up on some journal writing, emailing and entertaining or informative reading. Surround yourself with chill out music, delicious food, and green tea.
Get to Know other Travellers
Instead of just reading and writing, rainy days are perfect for getting to know your fellow travellers. They’ll be just as bored as you and keen for some stimulating conversation and a few laughs.
Grab a few beers and start socializing.
Why not? Nothing else to do so you might as well party.
Throw some music on, pull out the universal card games, get someone to strum a guitar and you are in for some memorable moments.
Watch Movies
Either at the cinema, or the hostel room, the local restaurant or on your lap top you can waste the day away watching movies.

GET LOVED UP
Travel is always so busy and full of sightseeing, activities, socializing and cramped living spaces. It’s always awkward to find the time and space with your honey for some good old lovin’. Allow the rain to give you the excuse you need to shut the bungalow door and reconnect.
