🥇 Addo Elephant Park & Reserve, South Africa by @zo3d

My husband and I had a sneaky couples getaway for ten days. We got to spend the final two days of our trip visiting the spectacular Addo Elephant Park on the coast of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The park currently preserves 120 000 hectares of land and is thus called a Mega Park. It is home to over 550 elephant as well as Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Zebra, Lion and various buck including Kudu (venison), Red Hartebees, Eland and many more. We left our bed & breakfast in Jeffreys Bay early on Saturday morning to make the hour long drive along the coast towards Port Elizabeth now known as Gqeberha, the capital of the Eastern Cape Province.

🥈 Discovering the Sarrá Pharmacy Museum in Old Havana [ENG/ESP] by @mayramalu

Hello, dear Hive travelers! If, like me, you're passionate about discovering hidden corners that hide fascinating stories, today I invite you to explore a place that seems frozen in time: the La Reunión Pharmacy Museum, also known as Sarrá Pharmacy, in the heart of Old Havana. Prepare for a tour where the architecture, centuries-old furniture, and unusual pharmaceutical artifacts will transport us to the splendor of a bygone era. As you walk down the charming Brasil Street (which Havana residents call Teniente Rey), the three-story colonial building stands out among the cobblestones and colorful facades. Above its entrances, golden letters elegantly announce: "SARRÁ." This name is no coincidence: the pharmacy was founded in 1853 by Catalan apothecaries Sarrá and Catalá, and by the beginning of the 20th century, it was already the most important pharmaceutical business in the Americas, run by Sarrá. Its fame grew so much that, over time, Havana residents stopped calling it "La Reunión" and simply referred to it as "Sarrá Pharmacy."

🥉 The ancient BRIXIA part.1 by @be-claere

Hi friends of Hive, Today I'm telling you about my city, Brescia. Despite being a city with little value from a historical-artistic point of view, it actually has small wonders that are unique in all of Italy. The city has had many lives and dominations and there is one place that encompasses the history of this city, it is the Santa Giulia Museum. As an archaeologist, I have visited many museums in Italy and abroad, and I believe that the Santa Giulia is something unique, it is built on top of the ancient city and gives us a real immersion from the Romans to the Lombards.
