If your flight or train is scheduled later in the day, you may have some free time to explore nearby areas. Many travellers prefer a short visit to a local market to pick up last-minute souvenirs or snacks. Some like to capture a few more photos at the hotel. Others simply sit back and enjoy a slow, peaceful morning after a week of travel.
