Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Strasbourg "Petite France" by @leaky20

Strasbourg isn't the sort of place that you want to rush through but we had been there once before so we didn't mind treating it as a brief stop over along the way. Before arriving I thought that we had mostly seen the entire old quarter during our first visit in December. I was quite surprised to find that there was so much more that we had missed on that first trip.

🥈 Closed Borders. Ghost Towns. Not Normal by @ripebanana

June 2020 and there was hope. Some draconian restrictions were lifted, those who still had jobs were allowed to go back to work. Although many business operations functioned at 'half mast', and Government departments ticked over on an even slower idle than usual.Thousands however were not so lucky, having no job to return to. Landlords began evicting tenants who'd fallen months behind on rents. Across the city TO LET and FOR RENT signs began to appear.

🥉 Camotes: An Island of Caves and So Much More! by @glecerioberto

The cave floor still had clear water but it was shallow. I marveled at the stalactites and the structure of the small cave. It was like a basement. The ceiling was not that low so I could stand straight. I avoided touching the stalactites because it was said that it would stop 'growing' if it was touched. I guess this has something to do with the acidity of our hands reacting with the salts in the dripping water.
