Get Away From It All--While Sitting at Your Desk


Mont St. Michel, France
Are you having a terrible Tuesday after a miserable Monday?  Are you craving a vacation that's still too many weeks away?

Then take a look at MapCrunch, Google's answer to a spur-of-the-moment vacation.  Choose a destination from the list on your right (Estonia, anyone?), and click "Go."   Or click on the Gallery button at the top of the screen to see some of Google's best street views. 

Whichever route you choose, you're sure to enjoy a brief escape from wherever you are right now, and that can make a terrible Tuesday a lot more tolerable.

Do you ever want to take off for an impromptu vacation? Unfortunately, life doesn't usually let you.
When you need a break, check out MapCrunch instead. It showcases the best spots recorded with Google Street Views. They'll magically whisk you away to anywhere you wish.
Just select your browsing criteria in the box on the right hand side of the site. You can choose your destination by continent or country. If you choose the option to take a tour, the site will present you with a new location every few seconds.
You can also click on the Gallery to browse through amazing Views of the Day from castles and dinosaur statues to cute animals and stunning landscapes.
Here's one of my favorite spots I've found so far (click it to go there):
Castle
Don't forget that this site uses Google Street View, so when you find a place you like, you can click and drag your mouse, or use the arrow keys on your keyboard, to look around and go exploring. I also recommend setting your browser to full screen.
