ENTERTAINMENT WHILST ON THE ROAD

 

So the decision has been made, it is time for a holiday. 

Check the caravan; make sure the water tanks are topped up and the gas cylinders are full.

Throw some clothes in and stock up the cupboards and fridge.

Now you are ready to hook up and hit the road.

But:

what do you take for entertainment and enjoyment?

For sitting inside the caravan on those cold wet days, people often get out the board games. Or perhaps a deck of cards. 

The television is always a good stand by, but often the choice of programs leaves a lot to be desired. Making sure a few DVD's are included in the  holiday packing is a must, just in case the choice of station to settle on is causing too much angst. Now if I can be honest here, I get very frustrated when hubby constantly flicks through all the channels looking for something to watch.

But what else do people use for a bit of entertainment and fun.

I often see bikes attached to the back of caravans. Actually we did see one on the side of a major highway, and believe me that bike was in no fit state to ever carry another person. How sad if the caravanners never knew that the bike and caravan had parted company, until they arrived at their destination.We have a couple of fold up bikes which can fit in the back of our tow vehicle. But I do admit that my balance on the bike, and my body are not coordinating. So if you ever see me wobbling along a bike track, please get out of the way. 

It is probably safer for everyone if the bikes stay home in the shed.

Fishing rods, and even the odd tinny are also items that keep holiday makers entertained. And a feed of fresh fish can often be an added bonus.

Cameras also seem to be a must have for many people. The photos that I have seen which have been shared on various web pages are stunning. Those photos are such a good advertisement for our amazing country. But even the modern smart phone takes a fabulous photo, and the bonus is that quite often they will just fit in your pocket. 

It also appears that there are some travellers who have purchased drones and have embraced the growing hobby of drone  photos and videos. And yes, I am one of them.

A drone will put such a different perspective on your travel photography. But believe me,  they are a very steep learning curve. You will need to learn all the controls required to manage the path of your drone and then the controls required to take a decent photo or video. Many photos and videos are now languishing in my digital rubbish bin. And then there are the rules that you need to be aware of.

A chat with a fellow wanderer is a great way to fill in an evening and there is always a possibility that you will obtain some useful information.

But all in all there are many ways we keep ourselves entertained and occupied when we are travelling throughout our great land. 

So keep chatting to people along the way, and please keep sharing those awesome photos.

Travel safe and be happy
