  1. @GuardianTravel The Cumberland Pencil Museum in Keswick. Featuring the world's largest pencil. #TravelCorkboard
  2. @GuardianTravel The museum of "Totomoxtle" or Corn leaf at #Xico, Veracruz, #Mexico. It's a curious and crafty local museum #TravelCorkboard
  3. @GuardianTravel prob the weirdest place is the 'house of bones' in Evora, portugal. A church made entirely of human bones #TravelCorkboard
  4. Been to a weird attraction? I went to tofu 'factory', Java. Man climbed into barrel and squidged mixture with his feet. Yum #TravelCorkboard
  5. @GuardianTravel Ripley's Believe it or Not in Guadalajara, Mex; although it possibly falls under "awful" rather than weird #TravelCorkboard
  6. @GuardianTravel #handsdown #oneofthebest Spy Museum in D.C. Best part, feeling like a spy & crawling through a vent system #TravelCorkboard
  7. @GuardianTravel Killing Fields:walking amongst remains,tripping over a buried tooth. Sad&eerie hearing children play in a schoolyard nearby
  8. @GuardianTravel Soviet nuclear submarine factory, Balaklava, Ukraine. Extremely weird and uber James Bond #TravelCorkboard
