A4 Follow the local rules and customs for visiting churches. Being raised as I was in a Protestant church, it took a bit of getting used to that photos were allowed and encouraged in cathedrals. #PTTravel

A4 #PTTravel Best to time your visit for when there isn;t an organised service going on. Be discreet with your camera ... and DO NOT photograph people at their devotions!

A4: If it is a popular religious site find out when it is open and go early or late before the tours arrive. You will often have the place to yourself along with a few worshippers #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie The Knights Templar were responsible for all the bling. Each group had their side chapel and tried to outdo each other with decoration. Hence the whole place is covered in gold and jewels and original art. #pttravel

A4 I always try to be very respectful and abide by rules. Cover up shoulders and knees, no photos if there are signs asking you not to and I do stay quiet for the people who are there for worship.
Other tips - find out in advance about tickets & go early!

A5 I once felt that I had a type of “calling” to help someone who was vulnerable while working in the US many years ago. Too deep to go in to but it did challenge my beliefs. I’ve not had anything similar since! #PTTravel

A5 Being the token Protestant in the family, it's been an interesting few decades spectating at Catholic rituals. #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel When we walked around Uluru, I saw an old First Nations man standing by a path junction, indicating the way we should go. One or two people in our group saw him, too ... but a good half-dozen others didn't

A5 I've definitely felt a sense of something in some churches/temples/mosques. The music or singing can absolutely hit a chord with me. I can be equally amazed in an almost spiritual way at how wonderful the natural world is on my travels. There's nothing like it

A5: Most of my moments of connection have been in nature. The most memorable was when a humpback whale and calf swam under my kayak off the coast of Newfoundland. It reminded me of how small and insignificant we humans are #pttravel
