Travelling during the cold weather

Travelling for vacations during the cold and rainy weather may not always sound like a great idea but you can still enjoy your trip if you take a few precautions and plan well. Some people actually thrive on this kind of weather. Here are a few tips on how you can enjoy an outing or vacation even under the harshest of conditions.

1. Dress appropriately: Start by making sure you are dressed for the climate. An insulated, hooded coat is a must. Buy something that doesn’t absorb moisture. You are also going to need strong, waterproof boots, the lighter the better so you can easily walk in them. Try them on with a good, thick pair of socks to ensure they fit well as you will most likely be wearing the shoes with them. Break the shoes before your journey — the last thing you want is the misery of blisters during the outing or vacation. Also carry thermal underwear, sweaters, t-shirts, heavy trousers and some good gloves to deal with the chilly destination.
