Inspired By Tintin's Adventures

I have been indulging in youtube's files of The Adventures of Tintin by Herge and have thought of some adventures I would like to embark on.

Here are five I've chosen for today:

1. Sail To Find The Blue Whale

I heard it's larger than a brontosaurus and I would like to see the world's largest animal right smack in the ocean.

2. Stay at Durham's Lumley Castle Hotel

It's ancient and I heard it's haunted. I would very much like a Scooby-Doo weekend of my own. Then again, I wonder if my husband will join me knowing this is the case. Then again, I'd be elated to visit other European castles.

3. Visit Tuscany's Olive Groves During Harvest Time

The Bible always talks about olive trees and I would very much love to see its form. Also, I love cooking using pure olive oil and would like to see how it's harvested.

4. Visit France's Medieval Village Of Belcastel

It would be great to experience a stroll in an ancient village that is well-preserved and speaks of great heritage.

5. Jamon-tripping In Spain

After burning all the calories from trekking, the idea of delectable meats, albeit preserved and cured, is something very enticing.
