I’ve only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they’re just kinda there.
Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I’d be taking for granted?
Pic unrelated.
Damn, that’s an old church, I know there are a few still standing from around the Norman conquest
to be fair it wasn’t the complete church, it was rebuilt in part in the mid 1700s
<Edit> it looks like the church is mostly intact from the very early 1300’s (first vicar 1309) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Cuthbert’s_Church,_Darlington.
NZ was first settled about (current data) 1320-1350 (the earliest date that I’ve seen is about 1280)
Still, something that old, is always special to behold
