A1 #pttravel One that exceeded my expectations was the Eiffel Tower. People said I didn’t need to do it, but I’m glad I did. I even saw Putin’s procession go by as he was also in town.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie It's more ... I'm not a meterologist so I don't know the precise differences, but, it was effectively low cloud. It started raining while I was having juice-and-biscuits after the run finished #pttravel

replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW I've always loved Paris and really enjoy viewing the Eiffel Tower from different places in the city. I know its not everyone's cup of tea but I did think it was great #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Actually if you ask the locals, they will tell you to go up in the Montparnasse Tower which is an unpopular building in the city because you get a great view of the city without seeing the building. They are right, I went up there too. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @aok_NW it's an interesting place, especially to see Paris from. #pttravel Though I've not been up it for a decade or three.

A2 #pttravel I’m not sure how famous they really are, but there is the 4.1 mile Astoria Megler Bridge that takes US Highway 101 to Washington. Also there’s Haystack Rock down the road in Cannon Beach.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel a3: uhm.

I don't know?

I don't tend to think about landmarks before I visit somewhere - I tend to notice them while I'm there. Obvs it might depend on your definition of a landmark?
