🥇 "Traces of History and Wonders on a Weekend Together in the Netherlands and Zaanse Schans" by @saifannurr

The story begins in a small cafe in the corner of the city, where four friends are sitting together. One sunny afternoon, while we were chatting, the idea of a holiday to the Netherlands suddenly emerged. “Why don't we go to the Netherlands to explore the windmill village of Zaanse Schans this weekend?” said the friend with sparkling eyes. This decision made our hearts sing and without hesitation, we agreed to embark on an adventure in the Land of Windmills.

🥈 Riding the Waves of Paradise: Our Siargao Experience by @kev.incredible

During the actual surfing, I didn't expect to balance and ride the waves on my first try. Haha. I'd been overthinking it, doubting my ability to balance, but surprise, surprise—I nailed it! And that just fueled my desire to surf even more. Haha. Everyone was getting the hang of it, showcasing unexpected competitiveness and determination.

🥉 MAIN BESKID TRAIL – stage no. 2 Shelter in Soszów Wielki - Mraźnica by @olusiu

We were lucky because the route was arranged in such a way that, just like on the first day, after about an hour and a half of hiking, we reached the PTTK Stożek shelter, where we planned a second breakfast of apple pie and coffee. The PTTK shelter on Stożek is the oldest shelter in the Silesian Beskids. Its history dates back to 1920 and is associated with the Polish Tourist Association "Beskid" in Cieszyn, which initiated the construction of this facility. When we reached the shelter and saw its outline from a distance, we were in great shock, because the icicles hanging from the roof of the shelter were probably the largest icicles my eyes had ever seen. It was quite crowded in the shelter and I have no idea where it came from, it was quite early in the morning and there was almost no one on the trail. Later it turned out that only a few dozen meters behind the shelter there is the upper station of the ski lift, so even though the PTTK Stożek shelter is located high in the mountains right next to the Polish-Czech border, access to it is child's play thanks to the ski lift.
