Day Dream Destinations

Never in a million years did I think I'd ever go to Venice. I've been four times now. It's magical. Yes it's crowded, expensive and all the other negatives you hear about it but it's wonderful.

Agree, Kate1949. Venice is the first place I thought of. We have been eleven times now and know the quiet places as well as the showstoppers. We saw it portrayed on the recent BBC adaptation of 'Us' with Tom Hollander and the DH and I both said, 'We must go back when we can.'

The beautiful Aysgarth Falls are a triple flight of waterfalls, surrounded by woodland and farmland, carved out by the River Ure over an almost one-mile stretch on its descent to mid-Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales of England, near the village of Aysgarth.

Teetime, you may never visit a far flung place in America but YouTube can take you there. One of the most impressive sights that we ever saw was Ruby Falls.

Ruby Falls is a series of underground cascading waterfalls totalling 145 feet in Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the United States. Here's a link:

Whilst we were there we stayed in the old railway station, now a hotel and all the rooms are former sleeper cars from various railways. There's also a heritage railway line so that tourists can ride The Chattanooga Choo Choo.

Yes Lily We watched that too. Anything showing Venice I'm glued to. We have watched Francesco da Mosto's Venice several times.

This all sounds lovely. What I really meant was when you are sitting quietly where does you mind wander to?

Do you mean Clapham ?

Not far, our kitchen, with children, GC and friends gathered as it used to be!

I'd like to drive up to Crosby and walk along the sands. - On a sunny day.

The beach and sand and lapping my toes on some memorable holidays in the U.K.

Before Covid my favourite beach with a good book.

Since Covid my dining room with all our Children their wives/partners and our Grandchildren.

Sorry I misinterpreted your thread. My mind wanders off to the adventures that we have had in our old MG. I scribble my thoughts down. So far I've written a sizeable journal, I have never thought about publishing it, but it does seem to get quite a reaction when I leave it on a lectern in front of the car at classic car shows.

Luckily before the virus came I was able to fulfil a few of my dreams, so my mind often wanders back to them ....Bora Bora, Tahiti, Iguaza Falls..... dancing the Salsa on Ipanema Beach in Rio ..... hula dancing on the beach in Hawaii..... it all seems like a dream now ?

Tantallon Castle on the Scottish Sunshine Coast. Last time we went, one of the guides told us, he'd seen otters and dolphins frolicking just offshore.

I wander back to a place of cascading waterfalls in Scotland. So etched in my memory that I'm frightened to revisit lest any changes have taken place. Sheer bliss in escapism and joy. On the forward scene I see myself cruising along one of the wide German rivers. Bliss in anticipation!

When I'm sitting quietly my mind disappears down a black hole. Having said that, there are too many locations to list in the UK, but there is a little village in Turkey called Turunc. Even in the height of the season or is not over crowded.

Totally agree! Just want family and friends together again, not exotic travel!

India again.

Yes I did mean Clapham sorry. Fat fingers!

A boat on the Broads moored at either Wroxham or Oulton Broad in sunshine & no other boats around.

me too Eejit.. so struggle to climb out of it..

ho hum!

I'm not really a beach lover but I do dream of walking along one in the Caribbean. Just to make all you Aysgarth Falls dreamers envious, I shall be walking around there later in the week.

Swimming in the sea.

A little place called Tangasseri, at the southern tip of India. Kerala, God's own country !!!
