RE: Been there done that, loved it all

in Reflections5 months ago

Hi Galen, I have several bad experiences traveling, though few, and some quite funny ones. Some bad ones that make you have a really bad time. But I'll tell you about a bad experience, remembered with a smile. A few years ago, with my then girlfriend, we decided to rent a rural house in a mountainous place for a few days. Leaving for the last day of vacation the visit to one of the most important contemporary art museums in Spain, which was about two hours drive from the house rented for the vacations. With the bad luck that we arrived on one of the three days of the year in which the museum was closed, in this case because it was a city holiday. I visited the museum years later.

Sort:  

Oh man, that's no good! A shame indeed and but it's good that you managed to visit it at a later time.

These things that happen are part of life, we can allow it to ruin our holidays and general plans or we can take them in our stride and pivot to other things that may provide better experiences.

Eventually the closed museum was rewarded. In the second visit we spent a week in the city, and we were able to get to know the place in a way that we would not have done in one day. The city is called Cuenca, and if you are passing through Spain and have a chance to visit it, you will not waste your time. If you go in autumn, all the better.

I'd like to visit Spain at some stage, not somewhere I've been before. I'll call ahead and make sure the museum is open though. 🫣

You will do very well, I know people who don't.😁
