Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
After a moment's reflection, the speaker calls off a trip to a famed place, dismissing it as silly. The humour is in the sudden change of heart and the old-fashioned phrasing, as if a grand destination lost its appeal the moment someone looked at it properly.
