Meerkats are not cold-weather creatures, we like to bask in the sun&#8217;s rays, and besides, hiking up a mountain does not fall under the other main aim of a holiday for me, which is to relax! I go on holiday to <strong>avoid<\/strong> being busy. Climbing a mountain sounds like too much work for me to enjoy! That being said, I would never completely rule the idea out. Imagine reaching the peak of say, Mount Vesuvius, and peering into the belly of the fearsome volcano. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1329.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1329.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1329-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1329-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1329-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crisp, clean mountain air&#8230; then again, wouldn&#8217;t it be cold?!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>My heart prefers the sandy beach to the mountain. Depending on where you go, you can experience some beautiful crisp, clear-blue waters, paired with white sandy beaches to die for. A couple of years ago, my family and I spent a week in Menorca, and the beaches of this Spanish isle were incredible. Between swimming in the sea, and laying back to enjoy the glorious sunshine, it was paradise. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1330.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1330.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1330-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1330-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_1330-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is much more my speed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Earlier in 2024, my family and I went to Sicily, and the beaches there were also gorgeous.
