We combed through tourist traps all day
Where reality did not meet expectations in any way
Overrun by crowds with similar visions in mind
Who were, just like us, disappointed to find
That the sights bore a faint resemblance, if any
To the artificially enhanced internet images many..
*
Exhausted by our travels thus far
Disillusioned by sights subpar
We drove around without expectation
And found ourselves in an area that was beautiful beyond imagination
Where towering cliffs and ocean azure blue
Came together to create some stunning views
We stopped to admire this place that had found no mention
In guidebooks and travel videos, but had arrested our attention
*
When I travel, this is a common theme
The hyped-up places rarely spectacular seem
But unadvertised places in the vicinity
Offer more interesting things to see
Therefore each time I travel, myself I remind
To go off the beaten path at least once, and hidden treasures find
Passion...unbridled
