Q2: Without a doubt, my favourite fort is Chittorgarh Fort in Rajasthan. Well, okay, maybe top 5! But it's up there! 13kms of still intact walls, glorious towers and temples within, as well as a living town. #TRLT

replying to @todayInIreland @todayInIreland @StripeyMiata @kerrydexter @LindaPeters64 @TheTravelCamel Yes, exactly these. When a sign warns visitors to stay away from the seashore on beaches that are known for sneaker waves (sleeper waves, king waves) and strong undercurrents, better to keep a distance. #TRLT

replying to @CaitlinKellyNYC @CaitlinKellyNYC @LindaPeters64 @t_jh2009 For some reason, it’s not very popular with tourists. I usually go every 2 or 3 years and it’s always deserted 😕

replying to @StripeyMiata @StripeyMiata @LindaPeters64 @t_jh2009 We are very bad tourists anyway. We often tend to ignore official sights (even if we shouldn't.) One of my favorite moments was playing golf on Cruit Island with 2 retired lady schoolteachers. #TRLT

Thinking further about A2 #TRLT on forts, walled cities always strike me as a different version of a fort. Derry is one of those I've been to often https://t.co/NaoutjyiQN

A5: Near the sea entry to Inverness, Fort George was built after Culloden (1746) to prevent further rebellions. It became a training base for regiments recruited in Scotland – especially, ironically, from the Highlands. Still a working fort but also a museum.

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @StripeyMiata @t_jh2009 While that Irish hill fort looks lovely and empty...traveling now in an era of global COVID also means I'm unlikely to visit any tourist-y spot jammed with people. I would mask but it's hot and uncomfortable, so might avoid some spots now. #TRLT
