replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW It was completely different than seeing animals in any other context. So great to do a safari drive #PTTravel

#Serengeti #Tanzania is one of those places where you can admire the natural history but there is also plenty of human history interacting with the landscape #PTTravel A2

Exhibit A: Southern Africa, from cave paintings, through lost kingdoms, to colonialisation & apartheid.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @DawnCorleone #pttravel Anything would be an improvement on the old Cairo Museum. When we visited in 1993, it was more like a warehouse or store-room.

@kate_frankie #pttravel A2: Exhibit B: Central Asia.
From ancient civilisations to old Silk Road cities, and the best and worst of Soviet planning.

A2 I'll throw Australia in the mix, mainly for the sheer amount of things that can kill you!

A2 #PTTravel Australia! If you can find somewhere with First Nation guides, you learn so much. There's a lot they aren't allowed to tell you, but there's much besides the taboo subjects.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I appreciate on a deep level that you are calling these exhibits. Well played #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A3: ooof, hmmm, I don't think I have many pics *inside* museums.
There were a couple of places in Malta tho where there was history literally underneath your feet, which were set in museum-like environments, and old buildings that served as museum-like places.

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie I was there in 1996 and it was the same. Truly mind blowing artifacts but not the best floor plans . #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel A3 - a couple of those pics in my previous tweet were from Hagar Qim, which is one of the oldest extant buildings in the world. Albeit somewhat reproduced.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Every place is fascinating if you pay attention, and find someone to tell you the history. But, simplifying, Galicia, in northern Spain, has a wonderful natural patrimony, and an ancient and surprising history. I love to discover it day after day. #pttravel

replying to @TaraLynne71 @TaraLynne71 Yes! This is a strong contender for my next trip. Or second next trip 😆 I saw a recent docu on it with the horses they've found. So interesting #PTTravel
