Travel Digest

For our first featured post @explorenations takes us to Paris, France. This is the second part in her Paris series, so make sure to check out the first one too! First up we get taken along the Notre Dame, the famous cathedral of Paris, known for its Gothic architecture, magnificent stained glasses and multiple relics. Another sight to behold is the lover's bridge, where thousands of locks are hanging from the railing with the loved ones their names on it. While nowadays it's illegal to do so, people still do it and over the years it has become quite the sight to see. Last up we get taken along to Disneyland Paris. The layout of the theme park make it feel bigger than it actually is and with its multiple roller coasters you're bound to have a good time. Next to the roller coasters there is also a multitude on other activities, from drawing classes to parades and a bunch of shows all throughout the park.

For our second featured post @for91days takes us to Parque De Pena in Sintra, Portugal. This park is next to the palace with the same name. With ferns towering high, you'll get the feeling as if you're walking through a landscape that could be occupied by dinosaurs. Throughout the park you'll find moss overgrown bridges, statues and look out points. Most people visiting Sintra only visit the palace, but the park might be even more impressive. This park has a mysterious feel to it with relics from the past, like a throne carved out of the rock for the queen at the time, a small cave system used by monks for meditation and the Valley of the lakes, which holds five artificial pools with little duck houses.

For our last featured post @sunravelme takes us to the Cathedral of Junk in Austin, Texas, USA. After finding herself in a quiet neighborhood and finding a private-property-sign, she isn't sure if it's the right location. But after hesitantly knocking on the door, Vince the owner opens up and takes her to the backyard! Definitely the right place! A huge structure of junk greets her, held together by concrete and welding. If you want to check it out for yourself, you'll have to call ahead and schedule an appointment. With the Cathedral of junk constantly changing with the owner adding things, it's definitely a feat to see!
