Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Photowalk in Mezzano, Italy by Hive account@alequandro

Hello everyone, today I am taking you to Mezzano di Primiero, in Trentino Alto Adige, a mountain village of 1500 inhabitants nestled in the Primiero Valley. It was fortunate to discover Mezzano, because it was absolutely not a goal that I had set out.I was driving towards the mountains without a precise destination, like a true explorer when my belly tried to tell me that I had to introduce something so as not to pass out. Every restaurant I met was closed, unbelievable, yet it was lunchtime and it was Saturday!Since I couldn't find places to have lunch, I searched on google maps, and thanks to technology, I drove towards Mezzano and managed to have lunch at the La Lontra restaurant. The food is good but it is very rustic in the rooms and in the service. I was full and as the owner of the restaurant proudly praised the village and the route to visit Mezzano, just outside the restaurant I set out to explore.

🥈 Wat Phra Thong (วัดพระทอง) and its half-buried Buddha, Phuket, Thailand by Hive account@baibuaza

There are as many temples with amazing stories as there are wonderful beaches in Phuket and today's temple is no exception to the rule. I will once again be your guide for this visit and I hope you will enjoy it. 🤭 In our previous temple visits, we went to Wat Nakaram, Phuket Town, Paying respects to the Big Buddha, Phuket, and Wat Chalong, the gem of Phuket, all three having a very different history. This is also the case for today's temple, Wat Phra Thong (วัดพระทอง) or Wat Phra Phut is one of the famous ancient temples in Phuket with an amazing story about its half-buried Buddha statue.

🥉 Alicia's Eco Ridge Park, The Philippines by Hive account@bugzzheadlover

Do you enjoy watching the woods? The LGU-Buenavista has introduced and promoted Alicia's as the first tourist attraction. It's in Brgy. Sangay, Buenavista, Agusan del Norte, and it's only 16 kilometers from the national highway. I haven't had time to relax since the start of my online class. So I was overjoyed when my family chose to spend the weekend at Alicia's Eco Ridge Park. I appreciate viewing the scenery of mountains, rice fields, residents, and just the view of what a province life is like while traveling to Alicia's. It was a hot afternoon when we arrived, and we hadn't brought an umbrella to cover us from the sun, but that didn't matter because the breathtaking view made it all worthwhile.
