Haha, I can relate with that. When that happen, we move to different country, or even a country far away. Occasionally we will do a long-ish term stay, maybe a week or two, in somewhere budget, close to the beach. Relaxing and get ourselves reorganized. .-= Dina VagabondQuest´s last blog ..Cockatoo and flying fox paradise =-.

sounds like you wanted a change of environment or then gain maybe you’re right, you just got tired of moving around too much. sometimes i get the ‘sickness’ of trying to see everything at once, squeezing every possible activity in a day, which eventually burnt me out.

do we really need to see all?

travel fatigue can be really tough especially if you have to face some frustrating situations…
after such an intense travel experience, as you guys, you well deserve some time off!
we are guilty too of many nights tv-watching but always up early in the morning for a long day full of adventures.

Kristy. Ah, the shopping malls in KL! We couldn’t tear ourselves away either. But so glad when we did. Malaysia had amazing National Parks. glad you made it to Taman Negara. I agree, taking time is the key. We have finally settled into slowing down and not worrying so much. It only took us 3 months of traveling to figure it out!

Hey Lianna, so happy to hear that we are not alone! We went to the movies in Mumbai and it was amazing. We lost ourselves for a few hours. You just have to do it once in a while for your sanity.

Oh wow this sounds so similar to our India experience I can’t believe it. We too spent time in more than a few Pizza Huts and may have even went to the movie theaters twice, but those things saved our sanity.

Ah traveller’s fatigue… I know it all too well. Instead of checking out the beautiful valleys of Bukitinggi in Sumatra, I sat in a cafe sipping hot chocolate and soaking up free wifi not once, but on three separate occasions.

I am amazed I was able to tear myself away from the aircon in KL’s choping malls to head up to Taman Negara National Park for a couple of nights but I am sure glad I did. Although I am looking very forward to three nights of vegging out, catching up on internet stuff and watching the Olympics.

Bring on some more travel – but not for a couple of weeks!

Oooh, last time I tried to reduce travelers’ fatigue by sleeping on the beach, I ended up with an ugly sunburn!! Of course, I met some of my favorite other travelers when they walked by and pushed me and said, “Hey, Dude … (and, no, I’m not a dude) you should turn over!” ha ha

Hope you get rested soon!

Hey Akila, I agree, Thailand is a great option, we do love it there. Having been a few times we decided on something new and opted for Sri Lanka. What a great choice!

Hi Emma, You have a great point. I think that we tried to fit too much in. We kept on the move and you just can’t do that in India. It is also our first time running the blog full time while we travel and I think that we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to keep coming up with fresh content for our readers.
and I think that you are right, as soon as we accepted that we had enough, enoyed the tv and food, we were ready to get back on the road and explore.

Brian,
Thanks for the positive feedback. It is true it makes you slow down and process what you have been experiencing over time.
You can get information overload and maybe travelers fatigue is just the way of dealing with it all.

Ha Ha! I love it. Giving up Africa to relax in India. Let me tell you, sometimes we think of heading to Africa to Relax I don’t think we hate India we just need a little break in order to enjoy the rest of it. Sri Lanka should do just that!
