Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Travel to the homeland of Tamerlane or a trip to Shakhrisabz, Uzbekistan by @damm-steemit

It got to the point that the UNESCO World Heritage Committee included the historical center of Shakhrisabz in the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. The reason for this is the irreversible changes in the external appearance of the historical part of the city, caused by the destruction of buildings in the center of the medieval quarters of the World Heritage Site and the construction of modern facilities. For example, these two-story houses in some kind of pseudo-Middle Eastern style.

🥈 CAPE POINT HIKE to the very TIP OF AFRICA [Wrecks, dead sharks & bokkie parts] by @zo3d

This weekend we decided on an easy flattish hike. It’s a circular route from Olifantsbos (Elephants Bush) through the fynbos flatlands of the Cape Point Nature Reserve and down towards the beach and the Thomas T. Tucker Shipwreck. Then a quick detour to the actual Point of Cape Point to commemorate our visit.

🥉 Summer in Japan may be hot - but there is always a place to stay cool 👹🍣🎎 Chilling Japan by @maxinpower

In today's post, I kinda look back on a part of my first trip here in Japan, when we took a ride around the main island of Honshu in the middle of mid-summer, and when I was still a complete greenhorn here in the land of the rising sun. And even though I sweated more than I would have liked, we always found wonderful cool and refreshing oases to relax and rewind.
