Sunbathe in Spain or Safari in South Africa, It’s Your Choice
There are plenty of holidays I have tried – soaking up the sun in Spain, braving the roller coasters in America and walking in Wales to name but a few.
I still have a few different adventures I would love to try. Top of my list is trying my hand at the fruit machines in Las Vegas. One of my friends has just returned from there and she said it is absolutely brilliant. It’s true that you can gamble 24 hours a day. She said she lost quite a lot of money, but had set herself a daily limit, so didn’t really mind too much as she really enjoyed the whole thrill of the place.
I would really like to experience a safari holiday.
Safaris are meant to be absolutely fabulous. On a recent visit to Orlando, I was fortunate to visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and I got a little insight into what a safari holiday might be like. The problem with anything run by Disney is that everything is so controlled and even though there are lots of animals you never get that close. Imagine what it must be like on a real safari, being within a whiskers touch of a lion. I bet that must feel absolutely exhilarating.
Holidays to South Africa are certainly gaining in popularity and are a great holiday choice.
If the truth be told though, much as I would love to go on a safari holiday, the thing that really puts me off is all those horrible spiders. I honestly can’t stand the things. They scare the life out of me.It’s stupid when you compare their size to mine. It’s the fact that they seem to be able to run so fast on their big fat hairy legs. Unfortunately my dread of spiders has rubbed off on the kids so my other half has spent many nights being woken by one of the kids screaming that there is a spider in their bedroom.
A little word of warning though, whatever you do DO NOT vacuum up a spider into a paper hoover bag. My mother in law did this once and couldn’t figure out why a little while later the hoover bag was moving around so much. The spider of course had had babies and so instead of one spider, there were hundreds of them. It was absolutely hilarious and an experience never repeated.
Now if somebody could ensure that I could enjoy a safari without encountering any spiders, I would be there like a shot. If not, then it looks like somehow I am going to have to work at overcoming my fear. It’s strange a huge animal like a lion doesn’t worry me, just a tidily spider!!
