"Seeing the Palace of Versailles outside of Paris. I know many people will disagree, but I didn't really enjoy this experience. I booked in advance but still had to wait in line for about an hour. And once I was inside, it was hard to really appreciate what I was looking at because the palace was flooded with pushy visitors. The gardens were by and large my favorite part. I wish I hadn't devoted a day to visiting Versailles and instead spent that time in Paris, where there is SO much to see."
I live in Seattle and this is true.
The Space Needle is a VERY overpriced tourist trap that is jammed on the water front of what used to be a very nice downtown area.
That downtown area is now filled with drug users/zombies and crime.
Seattle downtown is about 20min from me and I haven't been in years due to it's condition and crime.
Yeah that whole area is not only decaying but overpriced. The Space Needle is neat to look at, but not at all worth the visit inside.
He misspelled "recovering"
It's not recovering. There is some growth, yes, but it's not sustainable
based on your vast knowledge? you do know that coral reefs are very sensitive and weak and die every time someone just farts in the water.
I loved going to Stonehenge but I can definitely understand this one. If you go there on your own there really isn't much else in the area. I went as part of a day trip bus tour that hit 3 sites (Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath) with time/tours at each. Plenty of time to see Stonehenge and get some great pictures then on to the next stop. Really cool history but don't make it the only thing you're going to in the area, have a whole route planned.
