#pttravel A3: I don't have pics of these but there are other museums I've really liked, - mainly because they gave a sense of a specific local interest. Like the cartoon museum in Brussels, and the modern art museum in Albania with its section on communist posters ... !!

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie you have all the time in the world to do so :) happy to be an inspiration! #pttravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW Wow, I remember that from a big trip I did at 21. Huge eye opener. It makes you realise history you are taught is a small fragment of what was happening #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A4: Site of the world's first public ATM. Enfield, northern London.
It's been moved since to just around the corner.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel A4: exact location unknown but somewhere in the hills around the small village of Strontian, in Scotland, was where the chemical element Strontium was first discovered.

replying to @2WeekTraveller @2WeekTraveller That is such an important and brilliant lesson. Oral tradition is crucial to so many communities around the world and has massive benefits as you mentioned #PTTravel

A4 #PTTravel India! Brought up on Rudyard Kipling; read a lot of John Masters in my younger days. Happy to report that all those images have been banished, and replaced by something more realistic.

replying to @RooLovesTravel
@RooLovesTravel @kate_frankie agreed. I have regular chats with friends from elsewhere about all the amazing things we're *not* taught in schools.
I mean schools can't teach *everything* but there's a huge gap of history that isn't taught because it doesn't fit. #pttravel

Oxford has been home to many discoveries & firsts - too many to list in a tweet #PTTravel A4

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel one day I'll edit some pics where my toes are *not* in shot.
kate_frankie
replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph Amazing list there. I've been to Luxor, many museums and art galleries in France, Melbourne, and the Vatican. I could spend hours in them again. I've done Orsay and Vatican more than once and enjoy it each time #PTTravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW It sure was. We had watched the Vietnam War documentary on Netflix before our visit but the visit to the war museums in Hanoi and HCM and Cu Chi tunnels was still an eye opener to the tragic events, a war that was so futile. 😢 #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2 Israel springs to mind as it’s history is so vast and so famous. In terms of natural history I really like caves and fossils so anywhere I can nerd out 🤓 #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @2WeekTraveller #pttravel That's why it's so entertaining to listen to First Nation Australians story-telling. They had no written language, so those fascinating tales were passed on by word of mouth.
