A4 well a school friend lived in a house which was the site of the first British home casualites of ww2 (clacton-on-sea). The coastal walk viewing the pill boxes is also a recommendation #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel Versailles & The Hall of Mirrors. It’s a short train ride from Paris & worth the trip.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A5: no. Because everywhere is interesting, everywhere is important. You may find you have a fascination for some part of history or culture that i've never thought about, like the history of railways in South America, or the language & culture of the Evenki people.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I love those random plaques. I take photos of them and then never use them. I really should have searched today for some #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I went there *specifically* to see the site, and the plaque. And I even drew money, symbolically, from the cashpoint round the corner where it was moved to. #pttravel

replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph Possibly Luxor and Vatican. I really love a museum. I like niche and slightly strange ones too. The sex museum in Prague was interesting and amusing #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5: When in the city, I'll tend to wander around College areas. Students put out a lot of interesting art works, plays, even been to fashion shows. Film festivals for example, is a big attraction for me. I don't pay much attention to the "why" :-) #pttravel

A6 #pttravel Plan ahead, figure out what you want to see & see it. I’d also recommend buying tickets online if you can. Again in Vietnam I wanted to see Hua Lo Prison where they held John McCain. The nice thing about Vietnam was how many museums they had & how cheap they were.
