If you have only arrived cold at your idyllic destination, ready to enjoy together, your partner has already drawn up his own plan.
Jasper (52) is married to Monique (50) and father of Silke (15) and Sven (14):
“Ski jumps, cable cars, suspension bridges, piers, submarine bunkers, radio masts, open-air theatres, lock stairs, F1 circuits, high voltage pylons, dams, metro tubes, boat lifts. You can’t think of it so crazy that I want to visit it.

Silke calls it SOK-ken: Dull-Old-Look-things. I find them far from boring, but extremely fascinating. Only condition: built by humans but not finished. I like the mystery of the so-called ruin porn and there are usually hardly any other tourists at a decayed nuclear power plant or satellite dish.”

No thanks
Tikva (39), married to Marcel (38) and mother of a daughter of 7:
“When Marcel proposed to go to Antwerp for a weekend, I immediately cheered. Not knowing that there was a cycling race just then. While I was exploring the city with our daughter, he was watching the finish line.

He often tries to plan a nice weekend trip around his own hobby. Recently I was invited to go to Milan with him and a friend. I could go shopping with his girlfriend. But it was the intention that I acted as a broom wagon for the gentlemen. Thank you kindly.”
Daddy’s not here for a while
Joska (33) has a relationship with Geert (45) and is mother of Rosa (4) and Imke (2):
“Geert always takes half a suitcase of books with him on holiday. Not only is he unresponsive most of the time while I keep an eye on our kids for drowning, it also costs a fortune in excess weight. Thank God he recently got an e-reader and half the problem is solved.”
