Now that our vacation plans have fallen through because of the coronavirus pandemic, some of us are a bit sad. However, we have something that might just cheer you (and us) up! Bored Panda has created a list of the most unsuccessful travel pics that show that even the best-planned vacations can end up as fails.
Scroll down, upvote your faves, and let us know in the comments where you planned to travel this year before the coronavirus outbreak. Check out part 1 of our vacation fail photos right here.
Traveling and going on holiday during the pandemic is inadvisable because you risk catching and spreading the virus. So it’s fine daydreaming about your holidays, but you should postpone them until we’ve overcome this health crisis. Fortunately, some airlines like British Airways, EasyJet, and Virgin Atlantic are letting passengers rebook flights for free.

120 Mile Solo Hike. Asked An Elderly Passerby To Take A Photo For Me
I checked it right away but he struggled enough with the touch screen that I didn't ask him to take another. I think I was walking toward him to help him with the camera and CLICK. Too late. He was such a nice old man as well. He put so much effort in to trying to work that touch screen. Bless.

Reminds me of a taxi customer I had. A man in his 70's came out of the hospital with his leg in a cast and loaded down with hiking equipment. The poor guy had hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, 2,200 miles, alone. He made it as far as New York where the trail runs through my county, Rockland. He had fallen and broke his leg with about 3/4 of the hike done. All Summer long. No breaks except for supplies. That ended the whole trek right there. I felt so bad for him...

Meanwhile, some hotels in areas under quarantine are offering customers refunds or the possibility of rebooking their stay for a safe time in the future. Depending on your travel insurer, they might be able to cover various costs like hotel rooms and car hire, but this depends a lot on each company and your particular situation.

They weren't native San Franciscans. It's almost always foggy until 10 or 11am. Then it clears up until 3:30 or 4:00, when it gets really windy and the fog comes back in.
Amanda Vidri 5 years ago
Early is bad advice. You want to go when the fog burns off around noon maybe.
Unfortunately, not all airline companies are the same when it comes to treating their customers well. For example, Ryanair has been accused of “ripping off passengers” when it became apparent it was charging 80 pounds more for some individuals to rebook canceled flights.
While Wizz Air was still charging passengers to rebook flights to Bulgaria and Hungary even though both countries closed their borders.
Ryanair has already grounded most of its flights and said it doesn’t expect to operate any of them in April or May. But in a surprise twist, the company will allow governments to use its airplanes for rescue and other flights. Ryanair told people not to call their customer support hotlines because they have less staff available to deal with the fallout.
Hopefully, everyone can get the refunds they deserve and we can all go on holiday when the coronavirus outbreak is suppressed. Let’s just hope our vacations then won’t be fails!

10 Years Ago I Climbed The Volcano Of Bali "Mount Agung" 4 Am In The Morning To See The Beautiful Sunrise
It was the very end of a 9 months backpacking trip, and I skipped an important and beautiful scuba diving lesson to do it. I had to get up at 3 am for the drive to reach the base of the volcano. My best friend and only travel companion at the time was too lazy to join me, leaving me alone with a Balinese guide that knew not a word of English.
We reached the end of the road at around halfway up the volcano with ~1½ hours left of steep hiking on wet rugged rocks.
In silence, the monolingual guide and I accented, and the higher we went, the more I realised how grossly I had underestimated the freezing temperatures at the top of the volcano - Not wearing any jacket at all.
We finally reached the top 15 minutes before the sunrise, inside a dense and moist cloud, giving us with a visibility of 5-10 meters (16-32 feet) and our cloth and skin utterly soaked.

Really now - come back another day and it'll be clear and beautiful. And here - have a tissue.

And be glad that unlike other people in this collection, you actually could see some of the canyon.

I didn't know it snows at GG. I visited it in Arizona and it was hot as hell!

I feel like most of these are just poor planing and lack of weather checking

Well, I planned my trip to the US six month before leaving Europe, so it was hard to check the weather forecast for SF....

These weren't actually terribly bad. Like, fog can give things a cooler effect.

We drove with the Gaustabanan (Norway) for a very long time through the insides of the mountain, only to see it on the summit. IMG_201808...081446.jpg

Too many fog shots. They get to be all the same after the first two or three.

Travelers need to do their homework. Check the climate of the area you will be visiting, northern hemisphere best time is May to July, August is crowded. Southern hemisphere: Sept to Dec. South African Sept = Wild flowers, not too hot, most rain is over, no fog. I visited the UK halfway through April to early June, got super shots.Wales in May - Wales-26-5...bd2376.jpg

Fog got me twice too. Went to CA from GA & took a tour of Alcatraz on a day that was rainy and foggy. Another time went back to Mount Palomar on motorcycle and was the foggiest day that I remember.
