Do you dream of walking in the shoes of an adventurer and visiting stonehenge tour? Do you dream of touring a secluded location, scaling a dangerous mountain or trying something else new? Do you get a thrill from pushing the limits and expanding your horizons? If so, why are you settling for a ho-hum vacation? Why are you settling for a boring vacation? Why not get out and be active? The type of activity you want to endure and the boundaries you want to push in an adventure travel are not matter, they are just waiting for you to book them. These are some options for the person who is fed up with the same vacation over and over.
Traitor's Gate. This gate provides river access to the Tower of London, and was built by Edward I-known as "Longshanks"-in 1279. Its original purpose was to allow the king to get to St. Thomas' Tower, where he and his family lived, by water. But over the years royals began to use the Tower of London less as royal accommodations and more as a place to house prisoners.
The Mayflower. In 1620, Captain Christopher Jones moored his ship, the Mayflower, off the docks by a pub called the Shippe before setting sail for America. A year later, he and his crew returned to the area, and he was buried nearby. The Shippe was rebuilt and renamed the Mayflower in the years afterward, in recognition of its connection with the historic ship.
Another thing you must do in my opinion, is take a Thames river cruise. The cruises depart from Westminster Pier, London Eye Pier and Tower Pier. You can take a shorter cruise of 20 to 30 minutes, or you can do a full round trip which takes about 3 hours. Just like the buses, you can hop on, hop off throughout the day.
Post-visit: Research where there are devices to help determine the date. (Big Horn Mountain Medicine Wheel, Stonehenge, Woodhenge, and Chaco Canyon, to name a few.) Look in the night sky for stars that have color. (Antares/Scorpius is a distinct red star in the summer sky. In the winter, Betelgeuse/Orion and Aldebaran/Taurus are both red. Stars like Rigel/Orion and the Pleiades in the winter sky, and Spica/Virgo in the spring sky, appear blue. Arcturus/Bootes in the spring sky has an orange hue.) Devise your own constellation from a random set of dots, or splatter white paint on black paper and let it dry. Connect the dots or splatters, and create your own star legend.
How was your last vacation? Did you have a pleasant time? Did you find something fun to do? Was there some relaxing time also or did your last vacation consist of you toting your family around, doing some work around the yard and other household chores? Was your last "vacation" essentially a "staycation"? Why not go for something unusual this year? When you have a short time off, why not look into some of the various adventure travels that may be available in your backyard. Most likely, there are many adventures to be had in your home state. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, why not experience a true adventure? These are some adventure travels that are quite favorable.
Perhaps the most obscure item on the list is the Potala Palace in Tibet. The historic value of this building is impossible to overestimate. Being built in 637, it has stood the test of time quite well. This is because the builders poured copper in the foundations to ensure it could withstand earthquakes. The palace served as the chief residence of all the Dalai Lamas, until the current one had to flee to India in 1959. To ensure the integrity of the building remains unharmed, the number of visitors is limited to 2300 daily. So if you want to visit this "New World Wonder", be sure to arrive early.
Where else have I seen snakes? In traditional tarot decks, they're featured on the Two of Pentacles, a card sometimes titled, Change. This association seemed to confirm what my client just said to me, but I also felt it opened a doorway into all that I know that card to represent. I intuitively knew that card could describe the action of my client's story.
