Its definitely not sadder than a grown man getting upset on an Internet forum however and then blames it on drink

The organised tours for sight seeing etc can be too dragged out. Too much waiting about on transport, and listening to some geek with a microphone thinking he’s a comedian
If it’s possible, i prefer to just make my own way to anywhere that I want to see. Usually works out cheaper and doesn’t take up as much of the day

Coyner what time of the day did you start out on your trek?
Assuming you were walking at a pace of 10 minutes per kilometer, a 75km walk would take you 12.5 hours. Now according to yourself you were stopping in multiple pubs on the way there (although I'm not sure why a main road between two cities would be littered with pubs, unless you took the back roads of course) so that would have increased your journey time. Say you stayed an average of 20 minutes in each pub and you called into 5 pubs. That's another 1 hour 40 minutes on to your journey. That's a grand total of 14 hours 10 minutes. Of course once you got there you then had to get back! Did you walk back too? Are you sure you aren't confusing this with a dream?

This. Went to San Fran on my own recently (met up later with the lads in Vegas) and did my own thing. No waiting on idiots to get up, get breakfast etc. No discussions about where to go and what to see. Do your own thing and see what YOU want to see. |

Did a couple of these when visiting cities on my own when younger. A great way of meeting people, especially women. They were actually decent value!

How is it sad? There was a group of about 15 people from all different countries in the hostel who went. Good way of meeting people.

Add to that time for eating and going to the toilet. You'd have to factor in with drinks consumed his walking pace would slow. Some feat to do all that Coyne, impressive

People who read books on their holidays are mongs but it's grand to do a 75k 'pub crawl' for c. 13 hours along a Polish motorway. You're some man, Coyner!

Q. What boring things do people do on their holidays?
A. Worry what randomers on the internet think about them rather than enjoying a hard earned few days off doing what they like.

If you don't bring something to read then its very boring IMO lying on a sun lounger or at the beach all day sunbathing. Need something to entertain you while there. Getting into the water for a swim or going to the bar for a drink can only take up so much of your time while there.
Its good to do a mix of things IMO. A few days sightseeing, a few days lazing round a pool, a day or two at the beach, the odd lie in. The only constant really is having a few pints every day/night. |

I can't have a pint or pints during the day, and be able to get on with the rest of the day, I always feel the need to keep on drinking or stop drinking and go asleep.
Usually hold off scooping until a respectable hour, especially with the kids around. |
