Our winners today 🍍

🥇 The Kuekenhof Garden in Holland, The Netherlands by Hive account@leaky20

Tulips season has come and gone in the Netherlands already. The tulips have long since been cut to strengthen the bulbs and only their leaves and stems remain in the fields. Even the Kuekenhof botanical garden, which generally extends the season a little bit, is now closed. A banner on their website currently reads "We hope to see you in 2023!" It's a bit of a long wait until next year but its a worthy destination to visit if you're a fan of tulips and/or large flower gardens.

🥈 The second day in Pleiku city, Vietnam by Hive account@tuocchu

In the second day in Pleiku, I have 2 places that I need to visit before moving to Da Lat city. One is about 15km from the center of city, one is in the city itself. According to the map, Minh Thanh pagoda is very near me by only 1km. So my priority will be the 2 lines of Pine that are hundreds of years old. At the height of 800m above sea level, 2 lines of Pine is known as the most beautiful road in Sea Lake area, Pleiku city. According to the local people, this Pine lines was grown in the French colonial time and continued to exist at the moment.

🥉 El Duende Hill, stepping on another summit above 4,000 meters, Mérida, Venezuela by Hive account@sofathana

On our last day of adventure in the Sierra de La Culata National Park, we had agreed with Yraly, the guide, that we were going to get up very early to go on one more excursion before leaving, the appointment was at 7:00 in the morning. As I hardly slept at all because of the cold and the night was endless, I was glad that it was finally dawn. I prepared a small backpack with water and something light to eat and left the tent to wait for the other companions, we were about half of the group, about 11 people, my sister didn't want to come.
