For those looking for a new way to enjoy a vacation with a twist, there are now numerous destinations to choose from. And worth considering are these three that\u00a0Coconut Club Vacations reviewed as it searches for <\/a>unique or bizarre vacation opportunities the world has to offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Weird<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Karni Mata Temple<\/strong> in Rajasthan India is visited by thousands of visitors every year who follow the belief that the goddess Durga was reborn in a 14th century mystic who the temple is dedicated to. \u00a0The interesting thing about the temple is that it is home to over 20,000 rats who the faithful believe are sacred and therefore should be allowed to remain. \u00a0In fact, the rats are part of the attraction and can be viewed running through a maze of tunnels or enjoying the sugar and milk that is provided for them.<\/li>\n
  2. Izu Islands<\/strong> in Japan<\/span> is a beautiful scenic destination with lush greenery, however, visitors on the island must always have a gas mask in hand, by law, while on the island. The island is part of a chain of volcanic islands and Izu Island<\/span> has been so active in the last ten years that toxic gases leak up through the ground on a regular basis. Surprisingly, tourists from all over the world have chosen to overlook the harsh smells and harmful gases to witness the islands rare beauty.<\/li>\n
  3. The sign at the gate says, “These Plants Can Kill You.” That’s the kind of garden the Alnwick Poison Garden<\/strong> is. It was founded by the Duchess of Northumberland who thought it might be interesting to create a garden to show and educate people on how deadly plants can be as opposed to focusing on the healing powers of plants. Visitors can learn how each plant in the garden works to kill a person, how long it will take and the symptoms a victim might suffer with before death occurs. \u00a0Some of the plants in the garden are so potent the visitors are asked not to even smell let alone touch the plants. In all there are about 100 deadly plants represented in the garden park including strychnine, deadly nightshade and hemlock. \u00a0While poisonous plants might seem frightening, another attraction on the grounds is the castle where some of the Harry Potter movies were filmed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
