This or That

Running river.

Camping in a tent or staying in a cabin?

Cabin. With my back, not sure tenting is for me.

By a lake or in the mountains?

Mountains, mainly because lakes breed insects, lots of insects.

Mountain biking or cross-country.

Mountain biking
Reading a book or an e-book

A book, every time.

Tea or Coffee?

Hard to choose... I would pick coffee in the morning and tea afterwards.

Reading out loud or reading silently?

Reading silently

Bicycling - single or tandem

Single. I have a hard enough time by myself without having to coordinate with another. 🤪

On a trip: See the sights or shop and eat/drink?

Definite, see the sights. Drinking has never been a big draw for me, even when I was younger. (Like to keep my wits about me!)

Tour on your own or as part of a tour group with a guide?

Done both, enjoy both, but having a guide definitely helps, esp. in a country where you don't speak the lingo (e.g. my current trip to Greece). OTOH, being on your own gives you a lot more flexibility.

Tour one country in depth or do a "grand tour" of a continent or region?

One country at a time, please. Immerse yourself. Do the non-touristy, country-side stuff and get a real view and flavor of the country you're visiting. Avoid the crowds if at all possible.

Wine or Beer?
