Our winners today 🍍

🥇 The pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik, Croatia by @miljo76

The city of Dubrovnik lies in the most southern part of Croatia. Magnificent walled city immediately captures your attention with it’s red-tiled rooftops, narrow alleys, and imposing protective walls, all surrounded by turquoise waters. The beginning of the city starts back in the 7th century, and few centuries later the city became the capital of the maritime Republic of Ragusa (from 1358 till 1808). Very powerful and culturally developed Republic, that was conquered by Napoleon's French Empire in 1808. A magnificent city that faced few severe damages (like a devastating earthquake in 1667, the WW1 and WW2 and the Croatian War of Independence in 1991) but was always repaired and restored.

🥈 A Walk Around Lochore, Scotland, The UK by @celticheartbeat

Greetings travelers. On Saturday night my father and I took a drive into the countryside to visit an area we hadn't been to since before the pandemic. Lochore and the surrounding area are part of a 1200 acres country park and wildlife reserve. It is a great place to spend the evening strolling along the lakeside watching the ducks and swans as the sun goes down behind the hills. You can often see people in kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards out on the Lake. The lake is also a favourite spot for local fishermen. Lochore is home to many trout and pike.

Kanchanaburi city and the River Kwai a beautiful city with a lot of history a place that I had on my bucket list to visit and the last weekend I was excited to be making this journey by train from Thonburi Railway Station, Bangkok, the train ride was going to be just under 3 hours departing at 8 am from Thonburi Railway Station a 135km journey passing mountains and rice paddy fields and the cost of the train ticket from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi city was costing me a mere $3 US (100 Baht) could not complain about that.
