#1 Travel adventures - one Sunday afternoon in den Bosch
We're going for a walk with @delishtreats at Den Bosch in Netherlands. The artist Jheronimus Bosch (Jeroen van Aken) was born here in 1450, and you can see sculptures all around town which were inspired by his rather provocative paintings. Next @delishtreats takes us to see the network of canals and shares with us interesting stories about the town and its former residents. Finally, she stops by the Cathedral, the largest gothic style building in Netherlands before she hurries off to the airport.

#2 Hverarönd Boiling Desert - Iceland
When one mentions Iceland, you normally think of cold and ice (or is that just me?). @greddyforce takes us to a boiling desert which is totally the opposite. It's an area near the Krafla volcanic mountain and has many hot springs, fumaroles, mud pools and mud pots. In fact the whole place smells like rotten eggs due to the sulphur in the hot water. Despite the foul smell, the natural steem geysers and the minerals in the water paint a beautiful picture on the ground. Just make sure you don't hang around for too long to explore this place.

#3 Japanese street food - part 2
@kocinka brings us a yummy foodie post from Kyoto in Japan. In fact it's just perfect for me as I'm currently travelling in Japan for a couple of weeks. She takes us to a place called the Nishiki Market where there are 100 stores selling all sorts of delicious local food. There's a dried skipjack tuna which is as hard as stone, a sea eel called Hama which has hundreds of tiny bones but it is prepared so that you can eat the bones safely. And of course, there has to be desserts and snacks. They look so yummlicious, and I'm going to look out for them for the rest of my journey now.

Its always a great feeling to be featured in your post. Thank you!
Your're welcome @greddyforce, I remember the smell from my Iceland trip, not sure if it was as smelly as yours , trip I mean!
Sulfur filled areas were REALLY smelly but overall Icelandic was so pure and enjoyable to breathe. Especially at remote areas.
