Travel captions for Instagram that aren't "wanderlust"

I spent 11 years working and travelling abroad, a lot of it on cruise ships. These are the lines I'd actually put under a travel photo. Tap one to copy it.

Short

  1. Painted houses, green giants, cold blue water.

  2. Where the mountains come down to the harbour to say hello.

  3. Population: me, a few gulls and that mountain.

  4. The boats went quiet before I did.

  5. Last light, still water, no plans.

  6. Some evenings don't need a filter or a reason.

  7. Same sea, different port.

  8. Came for the view, stayed for the second coffee.

  9. Every map gets folded wrong eventually.

  10. Lost the signal, found the place.

  11. A town small enough to walk twice before dinner.

  12. The kind of quiet you only get at the edge of a map.

Longer, with a story

  1. Ten hours on a ferry for this. I'd do it again tomorrow.

  2. I didn't plan this stop. Best thing I didn't plan all year.

  3. Woke up before the town did and had the harbour to myself.

  4. Took the long way round. The long way had this.

  5. The locals walked past it every day. I stood there for twenty minutes.

  6. No itinerary today, just this bench and that view.

Funny

  1. My camera roll is 90% boats and I'm fine with that.

  2. Told myself one more photo. That was 40 photos ago.

  3. Luggage: lost. Mood: found.

  4. Packed for every weather. Got the one I didn't pack for.

  5. Me pretending I know which way the hotel is.

  6. The seagull was here first and made sure I knew it.

Questions (good for comments)

  1. Would you stay here a week or a weekend?

  2. Harbour at sunrise or harbour at sunset?

  3. What's the one place you'd go back to tomorrow?

  4. Which town should I go to next?

  5. Ever found a place by getting lost?

  6. Window seat or aisle? Be honest.
