3 Strange Vacation Destinations


Often when we think of vacation destination spots the word odd or strange doesn’t enter our vocabulary. However; the idea of a vacation is an escape from the normal and mundane. So keeping that line of reasoning in mind, wouldn’t a strange or odd vacation destination be just what the doctor ordered?

I recently came across a terrific post Unusual Vacation Spots That Thrill on oddyfunny.blogspot.ca. Here are my 3 favorite spots showcased:

 

 

The Crazy Horse Memorial, USA 

Located in South Dakota, this massive carving of an Oglala Lakota warrior with his horse was started by Korczak Ziolkowski in 1948 on the Black Hills. But due to the death of this artist in 1982 the works were interrupted until it was resumed again by a foundation run by his family. 

 

 

Cappadocia Cave Hotels, Turkey

Presenting the cave hotel of the wonderful Cappadocia. The artistic imagination was at its peak when the sculptors cut through these soft volcanic rocks to form pillars and minaret to give the guests a unique, but local taste. 

 

 

Chernobyl and Pripyat, Ukraine

A growing number of tourists are showing interest in spending some days in the radioactive zone of Chernobyl to feel something that is queer. Madness reaches a whole new level when the thought of visiting two of world's most unlikely places, Chernobyl and Pripyat, hits the mind. 

 

For those of you that may not require such extreme thrills to get away from the everyday, another fantastic alternative are the cabin rentals available in Gatlinburg. These secluded retreats are ideal for enjoying nature and all that Tennessee has to offer.
