You make independent travel sound so attractive, Stuart, so do-able, so within my capabilities, so fun, so... Well, maybe not so much.
A whole load of quite negative adjectives spring to mind, to do with frustration, dealing with difficult people, not speaking the language(s), having to fundamentally alter plans.
I'm so glad you and your family have had these experiences, so I don't have to.
I'm 70+ now, love travelling with you vicariously, to a few other places for real, and still can't quite forgive you for recommending the Little Pond hotel in Sanur.
I tried it, didn't like it, and checked out the next day, losing a couple of night's fees as I'd booked online. Ah, well. Swings and roundabouts...
But I do love to hear and read your stories of places I'll never see and accounts of things I'll never do.
Oh, man. The high highs and low lows of life on the road. Ouch.
