replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides A3: It's cheating to say London but you've got everything from a Roman amphitheatre, the Underground and, what I think are rather beautiful and impressive feats of engineering, gasometers. #TRLT

replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @BradtGuides A3) The Hoover Dam is just a few hours drive through the Mojave Desert from my place. Unfortunately because of the drought the water level of Lake Mead behind it is at a record low. #TRLT

replying to @Expat_in_Europa @Expat_in_Europa @postcardsplaces Ancient is relative - probably anything that was not recently built. #TRLT

A3: Growing up in the West Midlands, Carys loved visiting nearby Ironbridge. The town’s namesake is the world’s first iron bridge, which was built in 1779 and showcases the genius of local ironmasters https://t.co/9ctL4bPZqk #TRLT

@aok_NW @GrandHyattKL Even greater irl, naturally! Stayed at the same hotel & same room on my next visit, love @GrandHyattKL also for its fantastic service, at least on the Executive floor & lounge, spot on. Also loved watching the towers during my breakfasts. The pool area isn't bad either ;)

#trlt A3 ish: I don't have a pic of it because it's very boring, plus I've only ever been on it not to it, but the first railway line between Liverpool & Manchester (1830) is flat and straight.
It goes right over a huge boggy mossland that caused *huge* engineering issues!

@TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces Q1: Do you prefer ancient or modern Engineering Marvels or both? Share a favourite of each category! via @postcardsplaces
A1: I like both but prefer older as it has more character. #TRLT
TheTravelCamel
replying to @RCMtalks @RCMtalks @BradtGuides For modern in London, I was excited to see the Battersea Power Station - the cover for the Pink Floyd album, 'Animals'. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces A1 Both, and in Japan you get a lot of both, sometimes close together.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel It is also terrifying to drive across! It's constantly getting closed down for a few hours for high winds, but it's the way we in Michigan get from the bottom of our state to the top. I just avoid going to the upper portion. #TRLT

A4: At Ulug Beg’s Observatory in Uzbekistan, Laura was struck not only by the scale of the remaining quadrant arc, but also by the precision with which it was made. Its accuracy regarding exact calculations was beaten only by the invention of the computer. #TRLT
