Being attacked by a black swan in the Bahamas would probably be one of my funny travel moments.
Do swans hate pink? My bright pink bag seemed to infuriate the swan, like red to a bull. Beak firmly locked on tightly and tugging at the bag really hard – I never knew swans had such strength!!!
Come to think if it, I was probably the only one who didn’t find it funny at the time – that swan had a seriously vicious streak, but I can confirm that no swans were harmed in the making of this funny moment!
Boarding an unruly camel in the Sahara Desert would be another one.
Plus listening to an absolutely ear-wrenching rendition of Whitney Houstons’ ‘I will always love you’ at a hotel karaoke beach night…not that I could have sung it any better 🤪🎤
Please do share some of your funniest travel moments below.

Listening to the cringe worthy entertainment in our Austrian hotel every night schoen is still a catchword in our family so many years later
Cherryl
Cringey hotel entertainment – love that!! 😊

Funniest travel moment is rushing to the airport having already checked in online…. I had my big hold luggage, went through straight to security in airport… I had realised this was my hold luggage with me…..!! Felt so silly #travelcomedy
Cherryl
Lol, sounds like what should have made getting to departures quicker ended up taking longer!!! Your hold luggage must have been quite small for to head straight to security!! ✈️

#travelcomedy getting on a train that i thought went to Dresden but i was on my way to Hamburg! Just the 400 miles difference…
Cherryl
I’m guessing quite a bit different in ticket prices too 🤔

Travelling from West to East in Canada, we noticed that it was getting more and more French. My friend asked if it was because we were getting closer to France.
The most I’ve laughed whilst travelling!
Cherryl
Lol, Geography wasn’t your friend’s strong point then….I know they speak French in Quebec 😆

#TravelComedy when I went lanzarote last year I wondered why my travel adaptor plug woulndt fit then I realised I had picked up the wrong one and had accidentally packed the USA one 🤦🏻♂️
Cherryl
Whoops!!

Walking into a restaurant in Saint Lucia and people were looking at me. I thought they were admiring my white outfit. It was only when I went to the bathroom that I realised I had long streaks of mud on the back of my long white skirt from walking on wet ground after it had been raining.
Cherryl
It’s always risky wearing white – hope it didn’t ruin your evening 🙂

#travelcomedy we went to Crete and thought the only restaurants available were down this massively steep hill. After a few days we found a whole array of restaurants the opposite way from our hotel. Whoops
Cherryl
Lol, the joys of getting to know new places!! 😊

In 1981 on my honeymoon in Palma Nova, I went into the men’s toilets by mistake as I couldn’t fathom out the pictures on the doors. I could hear several people laughing outside in the bar, how embarrassing at the time but 38 years later, I think it’s funny 🙂
Cherryl
Lol, that’s definitely a funny one Caroline – and an easy mistake to make 😆
Daniel
My funniest traveling experience was when i was lost in south africa in the wood i don’t remember where but i was extremely scared cause i was walking with my sisters and my uncle, i don’t know how i lost them, but i tried to find them but instead i found a dog and loved him so much that i didn’t want to leave him, but then they found me i was so mad 😭😭😭 #travelcomedy
Cherryl
I’m glad they found you Daniel!!
Chris Andrews
my funniest (though l didn’t think it funny at the time) was in Britain. Climbed mount Snowdon . . . fine! But coming down l think l was dehydrated ‘cos l could not stand, and had to come down on my bottom for the last two hours. Hubby thought it was hilarious.
Cherryl
Sounds like you were very weak, definitely not funny – nope. I’d be worried about you passing out or worse!! 😬 ⛰ 🏔 I bet the mountain views were amazing though!!
Kevin Matthews
Made the classic mistake as a teen of eating all the fruit in the sangria jug and wondering why I spent the evening feeling a bit “odd” – #travelcomedy
Cherryl
Oh dear 🤢

Got so drunk on holiday, I fell asleep under a mini thinking it was my bed.
Cherryl
Not sure I’d be laughing at you – I’d be worried about you getting run over 🚘

Getting onto the Kirkstone pass as newcomers to the Lake District and not realising just what that road is like!

#travelcomedy Whilst I did not think it funny my friends did, they all got out of the car’ to photograph some Water Buffalo, leaving the car doors open, which rapidly filled up with a troopof Baboons
Cherryl
Wow, that must have been quite scary!!! 🤔
Eva Appleby
What about boarding the wrong train and ending up at a hen night…hilarious ..
Cherryl
Sounds like an entertaining mistake to make 🚆

While climbing up a rickety ladder in a bell tower, one of the first in the group to do so, I realised that it had not been a great day to wear a light skirt as a gust of wind came along and exposed my bright pink undies to everyone below! I couldn’t even let go of the ladder to grab the skirt and save my blushes. *Mortified*!. Everyone else had a great laugh though!
Cherryl
Lol yes that sounds like a very unfortunate one for you – hopefully nobody took a photo!! 😆

How I wish I could actually enter this giveaway contest. I have a travel blog where I wrute about beautiful places in the world and i would love to travel someday and fulfil my dreams. So i don’t have a travel story except one time when I was visiting a friend in another state and I had to pee really bad, I was so uncomfortable but I just had to endure. The journey took 6 hours and on getting to my friend campus, he was busy introducing me to his friends and I had to make a fake smile just to get it moving but unfortunately I peed and it was so embarrassing. My friend still laughs off the my look till date.
Here is my travel blog link, please do check it out https://mobiletravelsite.wordpress.com/
