After the umpteenth 4-5-day self-organized excursion abroad with pals and colleagues, and the endless hanging around huge queues and wandering about looking for those members of our merry group who usually get lost or lag behind the rest of the band (ya know, usual tourist stuff), I've come up with a few curious ideas that could make the tourist's life easier, and probably start a couple business niches (provided that someone faster and smarter than yours-truly hasn't already come up with them, that is)...
1. A mobile app, used by a group of tourists to find each other's whereabouts on their screen at any point in space and time, provided that they've all switched their GPS on.
2. At the museum, a moving belt line on the floor, with some chairs lined up on top of it, the folks sitting on them while the belt is moving around like an elevator, along with the chairs and people, while the museum stuff (paintings, artefacts, etc) passes beside.
3. In front of the museum, a long winding bench, where the tourists who are tired of all that hanging and waiting are able to put their fat bums, then move one spot at a time as the queue moves along.
As you might've guessed, this batch of ideas are coming after a ton of back pains and sore feet from spending 90% of my visit time to a place like Paris around long lines for tickets, entrances and whatnot, and searching and/or waiting for the slowest members of our merry band of touring fellers. As well as due to the fact that I may've been growing old, heh. :-)))
