How do you feel when you travel the same place for the second time?

I travel one island 2 years ago. I went there with my boyfriend and I felt it is a fantastic island. But I went there again one month ago, because of the company event. That trip is free and totally paid by our boss. So I went. But the feeling to that island is totally different when comparing with the trip I had 2 years ago. The island is not so beautiful and too crowded, etc. How do you feel when you travel the same place for the second time?

The first time I visit a place is always different to the second time I go to the same place. The first time might feel a little magical and really special. The second time it might not seem as beautiful and it might have become busy with tourists. The first time I went to Sydney was excellent. The weather had been really hot. I had made many friends and I had the most amazing time. The second time I went there it wasn't as good. The weather was cool and the sky looked dull. I had less time there and it didn't seem as enjoyable as the first time there. I went to Budapest in Hungary in 1990 and it was a real treasure of a trip. I visited Prague in 1996 and it was lovely. I could see how the capital cities in Eastern Europe were changing and getting more touristy. I visited Tallinn in Estonia in 2008 and could not believe the prices. It was glorious looking but it had many groups of tourists. If I go back to Budapest it won't get any better than my original trip there all those years ago. In 2002 I visited Samoa and thought I had found paradise. Should I go back? Sometimes it is best to remember a place as it was.

Maybe every time when I visit a new place, I would not stay for a long time which leave me some interest things could be explored later for next visit.

Hello landie. There are some places that I have traveled to for many times like Hangzhou. Each time I go there, I feel good about it. Maybe it is because of my preference for it, especially the beautiful West Lake and the downtown area--Yan An Road.
