TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The rainy season is approaching simultaneously with year-end holidays. Oftentimes, persistent rain will ruin meticulously prepared travel plans. Thus we need extra preparation to travel during the rainy season compared to any other season.
Here are some tips to keep your trips interesting even during rainy days:
1. Decide travel destination
Rainy days render some travel destinations inaccessible. Avoid outdoor tourist attractions during the rainy season such as mountains or waterfalls. You can take a trip to indoor venues instead such as museums, art galleries, shopping centers, indoor theme parks, or aquariums
2. Choose the right time to travel
Before choosing when to travel, it is important to have a knowledge of the local weather forecast. Choosing the right time to travel could help avoid being caught in a flood or strong winds.
3. Maintain health conditions
Maintaining health while traveling during rainy days is important to avoid certain diseases such as the flu or fever. To ensure health, don't forget to eat regularly, drink vitamins, and avoid excessively tiring activities.
4. Prepare extra paraphernalia
Extra equipment is certainly needed to face the rain while you travel. These paraphernalia include a raincoat, umbrella, waterproof jacket and bag, additional clothing, and gloves.
5. Prepare essential medications
While traveling during rainy days, don't forget to pack some essential medicines as a preventive measure. Especially for those who already have a history of specific diseases.
6. Avoid transit during travel
If you are planning to travel using public transportation, choose ones that will bring you directly to your destinations without transit. Make sure to choose a direct flight if traveling using airplanes since rainy days tend to delay flights.
7. Choose warm cuisines
Rainy days are inevitably cold, so make sure to choose some warm cuisines to fill your stomach and heat up your body. Some cuisines you can eat while raining include soup, porridge, hot chocolate, and stew.
