#1 Share My World: Drive through the Lake District, England by @sjarvie5

On our drive from Scotland to London we decided to drive down the western side of England through the famed Lake District.My favorite was the Kirkstone Pass because of this view! The pass is 1,489 feet (454 meters) up and was chilly in the May afternoon. We did stop and ate lunch at the picnic benches on the top and watched bicyclists ride up and take a break at the picnic benches across from the Kirkstone Inn. Amazing that they could ride up that steep road!

#2 Underground rafting under the Lviv opera [video] by @boga4

Poltva is the largest underground river in Ukraine. Almost all folks who visit western city of Lviv are unable to see it. Well, you need to be an urban explorer, because the entrance is under the hatch. If you are an ordinary tourist, you can only spot the small part of it on the CCTV connected with the monitor in one of the caffees.
