Active holiday vs Laid back holiday

No matter where or how you spend your holidays, you can always find a way to make it as active or as laid back as you like. Everywhere you go, there is always something to do. Some of these activities don't even cost a cent. Here are just a few examples of things you can do, and if the place you're visiting doesn't have these options, you can always write about your holiday.
