replying to @GoGreenGatsby @GoGreenGatsby #trlt I've just checked - for a natural feature, Plitvice Lakes are actually quite young (12-15,000 years), but they are at least Croatia's oldest national park! Just seen it's €34 now to get in, that's steep coming from UK where national parks are all free.

#trlt A5: right. Some stone menhir things from the ancient Britons, maybe 3000 years old? These are from Scotland.
Yes, it was raining. I couldn't get closer to them because mud. Lots of mud.

A5. As much as I love #TRLT and #ancientcities, I’m going to have to head home with this one. The #Appalachian Mountains are 480 years old. It’s hard to get more ancient than that!

A5: Sticking with Sigiriya, my advice is to get there as soon as they open and head straight for the rock. I did that and had plenty of room for my climb as there were few other people ascending that early. This is good advice for most places, actually! @FuninFairfax #TRLT

A3 #TRLT. Komodo Dragons are very ancient. recent research suggests they are a relict of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, died out after the Pleistocene.

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @FunInFairfax #trlt #a5 Athens - well that's all obvious enough, but once you have done the main stuff it's a surprising "car" place where I'd advise driving out of the city and exploring the huge wealth of places around it. Just don't drive it back into the city, as traffic still nightmare!
