#1 HANZA 29 - Epic 475km Road Trip from Blenheim to Christchurch, New Zealand by Hive account@nickyhavey

Today, I'll be embarking on one of the most epic "off-the-cuff" road trips I took from my start point in Blenheim, heading west to part of Nelson Lake National Park, Lewis Pass and Hanmer Springs before ending up in Christchurch 475km later... in a day! Fancy it? Let's hit play on the music and get going!

#2 Yes, There Is A Train To Pondicherry And This Is Why You Should Not Be Taking It (Alone) by Hive account@elsaenroute

Wait, I have a huge tip if you are taking trains from Chennai station. There are different stations there, for the suburban trains, for the normal trains, for the local trains and it gets pretty confusing. Always remember, if you want to take the train to Pondicherry from there, it STARTS FROM EGMORE STATION AND NOT BEACH ROAD. I had a pretty frustrating run to find the right station with my bags.

#3 Monastery in Schaffhausen by Hive account@plantfuljourney

In 1200 the chapel was expanded, and the choir was frescoed. These frescoes show the homage of the church and its saints to Christ. You can see these original frescoes in the museum. If you ever come to Schaffhausen, make sure to visit this museum as it's very interesting. It's been recently reconstructed and it's very modern and interactive now. You can learn a lot about the history of Schaffhausen and Switzerland as well.
