replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides @WorldWideWriter @TheTravelCamel @Cruisewriter Ditto. I’d love to take the Penzance train one day and it’d be nice to have things to do at the other end. #TRLT

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish I'm probably not the person to ask. I liked it, but I like other places better. We were there for a wedding. The food there is absolutely AMAZING though. And when you consider how old some of the buildings and artifacts there are, that's pretty mind-blowing too. #TRLT

replying to @aandj8804 @aandj8804 @Touchse @Cruisewriter Not at all! Prospect Park is right next to the F and G subway trains, and you can take Metro-North railroad to Riverdale in the Bronx. It takes a bit, but is pretty simple, actually! #TRLT

A5 Definitely the last leg up to Monteverde in Costa Rica. It was dark and foggy as it's in the cloud forest. The roads go round the mountain and look like they just end right in front of you. Got delayed by an armadillo crossing the road and saw this quetzal though :) #trlt
