Travel expectations and then how they turn out in reality can be a little different.
I was fortunate enough to climb Mt Fuji in Japan and spent the weeks leading up to it picturing bright blue skies and an idealistic view to die for. Unfortunately the day we went up there it was raining so hard that you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face. My clothes were soaking wet and I was cold right through to my inner core. Still, it’s all part of the experience, right?
Here’s a fun look at what our expectations are when we go travelling, and how the reality of it can sometimes be a little different.
