It was past six o’clock in the evening but the sun was still shining oh-so-brightly and we didn’t know whether to feel good or bad about det. As much as we didn’t want our day to end just yet, we also could not wait for the heat to subside a bit. (It is hot in Malacca.) We were also determined to do the Melaka River cruise at night as recommended by Asri, our hotel owner, who assured us that the cruise was best done when the artificial lights start giving colors to the riverbanks.

Our original plan of simply checking out the museum complex was done and we wanted to do something while waiting for the dark. As we were crossing the street back to Jonker Street, we noticed a crowded structure ahead of us. While we had been busy exploring the other parts of Malacca, we totally failed to see that there was another historical site just next to Tan Boon Seng Bridge — the Middleburg Bastion. before we knew it, we already started what many tourists call the Melaka River Quayside Square Walk.

The Melaka River

Before I start enumerating the points of interest that await those who walk on this side of the river, let me give you a super brief background on this river. You see, rivers always play a gargantuan role in history. most of the world’s greatest civilizations sprung up on the banks of mighty rivers. Others are used as the gateway to conquest of other great settlements. Such is the case for the Melaka River and the old town of Melaka.

Malacca Fort’s Middleburg Bastion viewed from the Fredrick Henrick Bastion site
The Melaka River was used by the Portuguese to conquer and take over the town in the 1500s. Today, the heritage town of Malacca (or Melaka in local language) is divided into halves by the Melaka River — on one side lies the Red Square and on the other, the Chinatown. These two areas are currently linked by a number of bridges but during those times, the Tan Boon Seng Bridge was the biggest and the most important.

The Middleburg Bastion

On one end of the Tan Boon Seng Bridge is a bulwark known as the Middleburg Bastion or  Middelsburgh Bastion. It is part of the great A Famosa, the center of defense, trade and administration of the city centuries ago. While most of the fortress was built by the Portuguese, this bulwark was added by the Dutch to strengthen their defense of the city and prevent enemy naval forces from entering the city. Bulwark var udstyret med en tårn, der blev brugt til at se ud og holde øje med og kanoner. It became one of the most important bastions that the Dutch used to repel enemy forces.

The Malacca Water Mill spins right beside the Middleburg Bastion. While it looks old, it was actually built very, very recently. construction started in 2007 and completed 2008. It is said to be the first and biggest watermill in Malaysia. While this attraction is nowhere near ancient, it certainly attracts tourists! I was drawn to it as it was my first time to see a watermill ever.

The Fredrick Hendrick Bastion

Right across the street is the site where the Fredrick Hendrick Bastion used to stand. It was one of the many bulwarks of the Malacca Fort. Et projekt til at afsløre resterne af strukturen blev startet for et par år siden. Udgravningen var stadig ved at gå, da vi besøgte.

My friend Ces “inspecting” the remaining bricks of the Fredrick Hendrick Bastion of Malacca Fort
From the site of Fredrick Hendrick Bastion, we trod back towards the river and walked to the left, to the left. (Cue: Beyonce.) The pathway on your left side will give you a great view of the scenic banks of the river. just on the other side stands Casa del Rio, a big hotel whose architecture is inspired by the surrounding beauty.

At the end of the pathway, you’ll see a cafe, a seafood restaurant and the ticket counter for the cruise. Don’t board the river cruise just yet. turn to your left again and you’ll see a massive ship in the middle of the land. Det siger du ikke.

The Malacca Maritime Museum

Arguably the most captivating structure along the Melaka River, the Melaka Maritime museum takes the form of a galleon ship. It is a replica of a Portuguese ship called Flora de la Mar which was said to be carrying plundered items from the city when it sank off the coast of Malacca. The Maritime museum was opened in 1994 in hopes of highlighting the importance of Malacca as an international business center since before the Westerners arrived.

DetMuseum er 34 m høj, 36 m lang og 8 m bred. Det er hjemsted for flere udstillinger, dokumenter og artefakter fra byens gyldne æra.

Solen gik ned, da vi kom dertil. (Endelig! En solnedgang! Endelig!) Jeg frøs, da jeg så de blide stråler i den orange sol undvige de ruvende master, gaffs, poler og klæder. Det var mildt sagt smukt.

The British Virgin Islands typically foster images of intrepid sailors and adventurers living their own version of a Jimmy Buffett song: sailing the seas, relentlessly drinking rum, stopping at hidden beaches, and exploring deserted islands.

Standing behind the wheel with the wind whipping at your hair as the sails of your boat take you from island to island sounds fantastic to numerous of us.

But, after imagining that scenario, we think, “It would be great, but it’s unrealistic and I couldn’t afford it. It sounds too expensive!”

I used to believe that. After all, the British Virgin Islands are home to megayachts, mega-resorts, mansions, yachting races, celebrities who own islands, and big corporations hiding from the taxman. These islands are no place for those without enormous bank accounts.

But I came here with a dream: to sail around the British Virgin Islands on a budget. That’s no easy task when charter boat rentals cost thousands of dollars per week.

Sure, you can take a ferry between the main islands (Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada) or take day sailing tours, but that won’t get you to the outer islands and certainly isn’t the freedom sailing conjures up , er det?

Luckily, I found a way to live the dream.

Within two days of landing on Jost Van Dyke, my pal and I were throwing our stuff onto a boat to sail around the BVIs. We had met bill and Geoff in a bar one evening. They were describing their sailing trip down from North Carolina. We told them about our plans to try to sail the islands on a budget.

They seemed normal enough and our plans lined up, so we asked if we could label along.

And that’s how we got our ride. Some conversation, rum, laughs, and asking for a lift.

The BVIs see numerous people who rent charter boats, hire captains, or sail their own boats around for as long as the wind can carry them. Each night, these folks moor in a harbor, take a dinghy to the nearest bar, down strong rum drinks, and socialize. boats are isolating, and these bars offer welcome social interaction after a day of confinement.

And this is where you’ll find your chance to live out your Captain Ron dreams.

You could say that we just got lucky. That we found the best two men and this couldn’t happen again. However, my pal and I had numerous provides to take us to the next island or around for the day. At every port, when we discussed our plans, people would typically say, “Well, if you need a lift, we’re pleased to have you. just bring some beer.”

I expected terrific difficulty in finding rides. I mean how numerous people want strangers on their boats?

Apparently, a lot.

Because it was really easy to find a life. many of the people have extra space on their boats, and everyone is very welcoming, hospitable, and helpful. I think between the small island population and the camaraderie that comes with boating, people here are very prepared to help strangers.

How to Sail the BVIs on a Budget

So how can you do it too? how do you replicate what we did? here are my top five suggestions for sailing around the British Virgin Islands for free:

1. avoid Asking on the main Islands 
Don’t ask for rides on Tortola or Virgin Gorda. This is where people pick up their boats so they are just starting or ending their trip (never a good time to ask), and there are few good bars to meet others at. stick to the smaller islands available by ferry.

2. profile People
You can increase your odds of success by knowing who is many likely to say yes. lots of couples? They may give you a ride to the next island but not much more.

Groups who chartered a boat? samme ting. They’re full.

Unge mennesker? They’ll be very likely to help you out, especially in return for beer.

Two men drinking alone? Yup, they probably have extra space, especially if they have their own boat.

3. Strike up a Conversation
Sit at the bar and you’ll find this is easy to do. everyone pretty much says hi to each other, and no matter where I was, others boaters typically made the first move. After a day on a boat, people want to talk.

4. casually mention Your Plans 
Work your plans into the conversation naturally and see how people react. Do they think it’s a amazing idea? Gauge their reaction before you ask for a ride. I found that boaters in the area are the adventurous type and if they feel you are on a good adventure, they will want to help.

5. start Small 
Ask for a ride to the next island. giving someone a ride for a few hours is easy. Committing to carting extra people around for a week, however, is a bigger barrier and much more likely to get you a no. but that one island lift may turn into two or three so start small and see how it goes.

Note: Sorry, families, this guidance won’t work for you! If you’re traveling with much more than two people, it’s going to be hard for boats to accommodate you and they’re going toVend dig ned!

Giv også dig selv masser af tid til at finde nogen at sejle med. Hvis du er i en stram tidsplan og skal hurtigt komme rundt på øerne, fungerer dette ikke på at fungere, da det kan tage en dag eller to at finde en forberedt båd eller at stille op med nogens tidsplan. Du er derefter nåde over bådejers tempo, indtil du kommer til en anden større ø, hvor du kan komme af og komme tilbage til færgesystemet, der forbinder de vigtigste øer i BVIS.

Glem desuden ikke at tilbyde noget til gengæld. Hvis du har sejlsoplevelse, desto bedre, men mange mennesker vil tage øl og mad til gengæld for en lift, så det kan være langt at give det.

***
De britiske Jomfruøer er dyre, og-hvis du planlægger at tjekke på et budget-er det kritisk at finde et billigt sejl rundt på øerne.

Du kan tage dagsture for omkring $ 100 USD pr. Person, og færger går mellem de vigtigste besatte øer, men den eneste måde at virkelig se ø -kæderne korrekt er at sejle dem.

Og den eneste måde at gøre det på er at finde en lift.

Jeg havde altid drømt om at sejle rundt på de britiske Jomfruøer. Jeg havde hørt om muligheder for at arbejde på både, men fordi jeg ikke ved, hvordan man sejler, var det ikke en mulighed, og charterbåde er ude af mit budget (mange sparer hele året for at have råd til deres leje). Jeg havde brug for en tredje måde – og fandt den.

Det var chokerende let at finde forlystelser på både, og dette gør de åh-så-dyre BVI’er meget meget mere budgetvenlige for dem, der ønsker at sejle rundt på disse fantastiske øer på et budget.

Men meget mere end at spare penge gør denne metode nye venner undervejs – og denne oplevelse er uvurderlig.

Book din flyvning
Brug Skyscanner eller Momondo til at finde en billig flyvning. De er mine to foretrukne søgemaskiner, fordi de søger på steder og flyselskaber over hele kloden, så du ved altid, at der ikke er nogen sten, der ikke er vendt. Start dog med Skyscanner først, fordi de har den mest betydningsfulde rækkevidde!

Glem ikke rejseforsikring
Rejseforsikring vil beskytte dig mod sygdom, skade, tyveri og aflysninger. Det er omfattende beskyttelse, hvis noget går galt. Jeg tager aldrig på en tur uden den, da jeg har været nødt til at bruge den adskillige gange i fortiden. Mine yndlingsfirmaer, der tilbyder den bedste service og værdi, er:

“Hvor skal jeg hen?” is a question I frequently ask myself.

A couple of years ago, wanting to escape the oppressive summer heat of Austin, I spent months staring at a map but unable to answer that question.

I toyed with the idea of heading to Madagascar, Hawaii, Malta, the Caribbean, the Maldives, Dubai, and Sri Lanka.

And because I couldn’t choose and was so afraid to commit to a single destination, I didn’t decide until two weeks before my trip where I wanted to go (which made planning a last-minute pain).

Years later, and after over a year spent in lockdown during COVID, this is a process that continues to play out over and over again

This is what psychologists call “choice overload” or “analysis paralysis.”

Humans only have a limited amount of decision-making power each day. It’s why people like routines. It makes life easier. choice overload occurs when we have too many choices available to us. We get decision fatigue and go with the default option thus avoiding making a decision altogether. We are sometimes so paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice that they don’t make any choice.

Think of standing in the cereal aisle. We have all these options right in front of us, but we keep going back to our old favorite, Fruity Pebbles. (Or, Cinnamon toast crunch if we’re feeling adventurous!)

We may want to try something new, but we can’t figure out what we want the most — there are just too many options! how do we choose? how do we know we won’t make the wrong choice? So, paralyzed with indecision, we go back to what we know. And, if we don’t have a favorite, often we just choose what is popular and familiar.

Contemplating our options can become such a taxing mental burden that we don’t make a decision. That’s why our minds want shortcuts. It’s how we process all the information thrown at us each day. It’s too difficult to think about every simple decision all the time. going with what you know and is familiar is how we shortcut our analysis paralysis.

(This is all explained in the 2004 book The Paradox of Choice, which I highly recommend reading.)

Think of the world as the proverbial cereal aisle. We’re looking forward to picking a cereal (a destination), but suddenly realize we have too many options. faced with so many choices and without a strong opinion (e.g., I really want to go to Thailand this fall!), we stare blankly, wondering if picking a destination is the right choice, so we end up (a) fretting about it for months like I did, missing flight deals and precious planning time or (b) end up with what is big, popular, and familiar (let’s just visit Paris for the tenth time!).

Whether we have two weeks, two months, or two years, deciding where to go is the hardest part of travel. once you have the time, picking the destination becomes a task of whittling down a long list of “must-see” destinations.

I often get so paralyzed by choice that I don’t book a trip until the last minute, and even then, I often suffer from buyer’s remorse. Did I really want to book that flight to Dubai? Or should I have gone to Madagascar instead? If I do this trip, will I have time to visit Peru later this year, or should I just go to Peru now?

Of course, when I get to where I’m going all of that second-guessing melts away and I have the time of my life.

If you’re a long-term traveler, you can go anywhere for as long as you want. but when you only have a limited amount of time — because you’re like me and slowing down, or because you just have a few weeks off from work and need to make the most of them — you have to be more selective.

So how do you narrow down your destinations, get on with your trip planning, and not suffer the anxiety that comes with choice overload?

This experience has given me a new philosophy on trip planning. I’ve changed how I decide on destinations:

First, embrace variety. You’re always going to be overwhelmed by choice. There will always be more destinations to visit than you have time to see. The list of places to visit will only get longer the more you travel, not shorter. Don’t fight it. recognize it and don’t let it control you. This is just a fact of life.

Second, start with a list of the ten places you want to visit the most. Come up with the destinations that are at the top of your mind. since I haven’t been able to travel for a year, I’m planning to visit some new destinations (like Oman and the Balkans) while also visiting some favorites like Greece.

Third, figure out when you can go and how long you have. because some destinations will require more time. And, since it’s better to do less not more when you travel, how long you have will affect the destination you pick.

Fourth, think of the time of year. Which country has the weather you want to enjoy the most? I’m trying to escape the heat of Austin this summer, which is why I’m going on a road trip so I can beat the heat and not sweat to death in Texas. If you’re traveling in the winter, chances are you want to skip the cold and head somewhere sunny.

Fifth, make the length of your travels proportional to the size of the country. If I only have a couple of weeks, I’ll likely skip large countries like India, Brazil, or China and save them for when I’m planning a longer trip. If I just have a couple of weeks, I’ll focus on smaller destinations that I can explore more in-depth during a shorter period of time.

Finally, find the cheap flights. Out of your list of destinations, where are the cheapest flights? For example, on a trip a few years ago when I was going to Dubai, it was $1,700 USD add on Madagascar but only $400 to go to the Maldives. However, thanks to airline miles, it was $0 to get to and from Sri Lanka. That made the choice easy.

***
Once I stopped letting too much choice keep me from making a decision and after logically going through my checklist, I stopped hemming and hawing about where I wanted to go, found my destinations, booked my trip, and got on with getting excited about visiting new places.

Gør det samme. start with your list and refine it using the above criteria until you narrow the selection down to the place(s) that makes the most sense to visit right now. The other destinations will be there for future trips!

Overcoming choice overload in travel is about first realizing that there will always be more places to visit than you have time, then figuring out what destinations fit what you can do right now. once you start with your list of destinations, getting down to the perfect one becomes a process of elimination.

There will always be too many destinations to choose from and too little time to see them in.

But, at the very least, we can finally break our analysis paralysis.

Riviera Maya i det sydlige Mexico er et område velsignet med dejlige strande, velsmagende mad, venlige mennesker samt en dyb, rig historie. Med verdensberømte naturlige vidundere som Chichen Itza og fremtrædende strandruiner som Tulum er det ikke overraskende, at over 4 millioner turister ser denne solskinede kystlinje hvert år.

Men med så mange turister kan de store steder pakket med mennesker. Derfor skal jeg i dag med at liste 3 alternative ruiner, der er lige så fascinerende, dog ikke så fulde af besøgende, såvel som ligeledes giver dig et par tip til at sikre dig, at du gør det allerbedste af din rejse til en fantastisk sydlig Mexico .

Hvornår skal man besøge

Den fineste tid til at se Yucatan -halvøen såvel som Maya Riviera er i den tørre sæson begynder i slutningen af ​​november såvel som ender i februar. Der er langt mindre regn i løbet af denne tid såvel som temperaturen er ikke så varm, som den kan være i sommermånederne.

Hvor man skal bo

Der er masser af placeringer til at bo i hele Maya Riviera. Vi kunne godt lide Cancun, Isla Holbox såvel som Isla Mujeres, men for at besøge ruiner er du måske meget bedre til at basere dig selv i Merida, Tulum eller Valladolid, hvor der er mange ture til tæt på websteder samt fremragende logiindstillinger. Hvis du er på et budget, skal du inspicere et par af de allerbedste vandrerhjem i Merida, såvel som hvis du er en avanceret rejsende, har LuxurRetreats.com nogle dejlige egenskaber i regionen.

Hvad man skal medbringe

Hver gang du besøger ruiner i Mexico, skal du altid medbringe en hel del vand, solskærm såvel som bugspray. Et par af ruinerne i Mexico ligger i tætte jungler, hvor solen muligvis ikke er så meget af et problem, men insekterne kan være en smerte. Undervurder aldrig de ekstreme klimaer i Yucatan (selv om vinteren). Bliv fugtgivet såvel som ud af solen så meget som muligt, især mens du udøver dig selv klatringstrin såvel som at tjekke templer.

1. Ek Balam

Placering: Temozón, Yucatán, Mexico

Indgangsgebyr: 181 MXN ($ 9,80)

Konstruktionsdato: 100 f.Kr.

Tid til at besøge: 2-4 timer

Sandsynligvis vores yndlingssted på hele Yucatan -halvøen, EK Balam (hvilket betyder Black Jaguar i Maya), kan prale af den største pyramide i den nordlige Yucatan på 31 meter. Webstedet er kun 41 km nordøst for Chichen Itza, og det er hus til graven til Alfonzo Lacadina, en maya -konge begravet i den primære pyramide.

Besøgende kan gå rundt i det arkæologiske spørgsmål i timevis og søge gamle klippeskæringer, malerier, defensive vægge såvel som buegange. Du kan ligeledes klatre på 106 trin til toppen af ​​den primære pyramide for en fantastisk udsigt over de nordlige Maya -lavland.

2. Dzibilchaltun

Placering: nord for Mérida

Indgangsgebyr: 134 MXN ($ 7,25)

Konstruktionsdato: 200 e.Kr.

Tid til at besøge: 1-2 timer

En ekstremt vanskelig ruin at udtale (tzibil-chaltoon) dette gamle maya-sted er en mere, der konkurrerer med ærefrygtfaktoren for Chichen Itza såvel som alligevel kun ser en brøkdel af skarer. Fundet ca. 30 km nord for Merida var dette sted strategisk udviklet tæt på det kystproducerende område, mens det stadig findes i en frugtbar såvel som beboelig landmasse.

Dette sted blev kontinuerligt besat i utallige år, helt indtil den spanske erobringstid i 1519. Dens mest berømte struktur er templet for de syv dukker, så navngivet siden syv små (og noget uhyggelige) effigier, der blev fundet inde Templet, da det blev udgravet i 1950’erne.

Besøgende kan stadig se dukkerne på On Site Museum såvel som der ligeledes er mange andre bygninger, der skal tjekkes, inklusive ruinerne af et Colonial Open -kapel. Hver bygning er forbundet med Sacbe (White Road) såvel som der er en dejlig cenote på grunden, så sørg for at medbringe din badedragt.

3. Mayapan

Sted: 40 km sydøst for Mérida

Indgangsgebyr: 35 MXN ($ 1,80)

Konstruktionsdato: A.D. 1200-1542

Tid til at besøge: 3 – 5 timer

Hvis du ønsker at forhindre skarer af Chichen Itza, mens du stadig nyder en lignende stil med maya -ruin, kan du måske finde til Mayapan, fordi den primære struktur lige her blev modelleret efter Chichen Itzas berømte pyramide.

Mayapan er 4,2 kvadratkilometer såvel som over 4000 strukturer at udforske, så give dig selv gode tilbud. De fleste af bygningerne var boliger, pakket i forbindelsen inden i bymurene. Udbyggede områder strækker sig omkring 500 meter ud over bymurene i alle retninger. Stenens omkredsvæg har 12 porte, inklusive syv betydelige dem med dejlige hvælvede indgange.

Ifølge Dr. Bradley Russells undersøgelse, der blev offentliggjort i 2008 som hans doktorgraddissertatioN, i Mayapan’s spidsbelastningsperioder var der mellem 15.000 såvel som 17.000 mennesker, der boede inden for bymurene.

Det primære tempel lige her såvel som det, der blev modelleret efter Chichen Itza, forstås som templet til Kukulcan (alias Castillo af den spanske) såvel som det findes øst for Cenote Ch’en Mul, som du ligeledes kan planlægge At svømme ved under dit besøg.

Undgå skarer, fordybet sig i historien

Med færre mennesker på hvert af disse websteder har du en meget bedre chance for virkelig at fordybe dig i historien. Det er nemt at gå rundt på disse historiske steder samt forestille sig, hvordan livet må have været som for 2000 år siden.

Nogle gange er det værd at ansætte en guide, mens andre gange er det bare sjovt at gå rundt i ruinerne såvel som at prøve at sammensætte historien selv. Én ting er helt sikkert, disse 3 maya -ruiner forbliver væk fra den primære turiststi, så du får en følelse af oplevelse, mens du tjekker dem. God fornøjelse!
