People who know me would be surprised

What I normally love most about travelling is having hours of uninterrupted time for reading. (Sounds exciting, I know!) I just love being able to have so much time available to read as much as I like. Luckily, I’m able to read under almost any condition (in cars, on boats, on planes, standing up, in the dark… and noise doesn’t really distract me while I’m reading, either, so I can pretty much read anywhere).

I wasn’t sure how many novels to bring with me for a trip that would be 8 weeks long. Especially considering that most of those 8 weeks would involve long hours spent in transit.

Much to my amazement, I’m nearing the end of my trip and I’ve only finished reading one book. Just one! I’m about halfway through another. And these aren’t even enormous books, since I was really limited with what I could bring along.

So why is this? I think it’s that the scenery has just been too good not to spend hours looking at. And I guess I’ve also done a lot of travelling overnight, so I’ve done my best to get some sleep when looking out the window doesn’t offer much.

Anyway, just had to take note of this since it’s something that has really surprised me.
