❤️VENICE IN AUTUMN

Advantages of Visiting Venice in Autumn
There are actually a lot of advantages to visiting Venice in the autumn.
For one, prices are cheap, including hotel rates and airfares.
Second, there are lesser tourist crowds, so sightseeing is easier.
Third, the heat that summer usually brings is gloriously absent. Consider the occasional frolic in the water (with boots, of course) a one-of-a-kind experience that cannot be experienced in other destinations.
Also, it makes for a good travel story afterward (like how we were almost talked into buying those pricey boots). Besides, high tides occur only until mid-morning and late at night.

BRASOV
Explore The City Of Brașov

❤️ The Dancing House, Prague
#fallingseason
Dubbed The Dancing House, Prague’s Nationale-Nederlanden building was designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić and Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The deconstructivist, or new-baroque, architecture forms the unusual dancing shape thanks to 99 concrete panels, each a different shape and dimension. The building's proved so popular that it now features on a gold 2,000 Czech koruna coin issued by the Czech National Bank.
The Controversy
The Dancing House in Prague was not an easy sell. The building is located in a city with a long and rich history, and many people were not happy about the new, modern building that was being built.
The traditional architecture of Prague is some of the most beautiful in the world, and many people felt that the Dancing House did not fit in with the rest of the city. There were even protests when the building was being built!
However, over time the Dancing House has become a true gem of Prague and is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.
Why Visit the Dancing House?
The Dancing House is one of the most unique buildings in the world, and it is definitely worth a visit. The building was designed by world-famous architect Frank Gehry, and it is unlike any other building in Prague. The building is also home to several businesses and restaurants, so you can explore the inside of the building as well.

Carmel-by-the-Sea
#fallingseason
BEST THINGS TO DO IN CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA IN THE FALL
Carmel-by-the-Sea was described to me as a Village in the Forest by the Sea by Hofsas House Owner and General Manager, Carrie Theis. I had not started my 48 hour adventure, but those exact words described the type of experience that I was about to embark on in Carmel-by-the-Sea this Fall. Glorious sunsets overlooking the Pacific Ocean, renown shopping, excellent wine tasting rooms, and more would be a few of the adventures that I would encounter in the Village in the Forest by the Sea.
What type of person does Carmel-by-the-Sea in the Fall appeal to for a Fall break? Just about anyone trying to find respite from the chaos of everyday life, beach-lovers, foodies, and oenophiles. The shopping and wine tasting rooms make this destination perfect for a girls weekend or a romantic weekend with your partner. Similarly, Carmel is a perfect destination for the solo-traveler, like me, that is independent, adventurous, loves to shop, and finds enjoyment in exploring California’s Cuisine and Wine.

Michigan: Mackinac
#fallingseason
If you've only been to Michigan's Mackinac region during the summer (or never been at all), you owe yourself a fall trip. You'll find the best seats on ferries, prime lakeside-restaurant tables, wonderfully deserted hiking trails, bargain hotel rates—and stunning fall color. Plus, a new food festival, Cork & Fork at the Grand Hotel, promises a weekend of great food created by Midwest female chefs.
Thanks to the insulating effects of the Great Lakes, the color show here often starts in late September and stretches into late October. Fall foliage forms a backdrop everywhere you turn: riding along on an island carriage tour; driving the Tunnel of Trees (State-119) near Cross Village; exploring Mackinac Island State Park; or crossing a forest-canopied bridge at Historic Mill Creek Discovery Park near Mackinaw City. Read more about why you should visit this idyllic, car-free destination.

📍 Takachiho Gorge, Japan 🇯🇵
Takachiho Gorge is a narrow chasm cut through the rock by the Gokase River. The nearly sheer cliffs lining the gorge are made of volcanic basalt columns which resemble the scales of a dragon where the stone twisted and flowed as it formed.
Partway along the gorge is the 17 meter high Minainotaki waterfall cascading down to the river below, and it is truly impressive to see the waterfall against a backdrop of dense green foliage and the surrounding grey cliffs.
There are two perspectives from which to enjoy the gorge. The first is from below which is done by rowing down the river. Rental boats are available at the south end of the gorge, and the water is calm and easy to navigate. This highly recommended route offers a close up view of the cliffs and waterfall.
The second perspective, from above, is done by walking the paved path that runs along the edge of the gorge. There are beautiful views all along the way and at some points on the trail you can look practically straight down to the river below. The trail continues for about one kilometer, eventually leading to the Takachiho Shrine.
There are a few other things to see and do around the southern end of the gorge including a freshwater aquarium, a stocked fishing pond and a few restaurants and souvenir shops. The gorge is illuminated during the summer months until 22:00.
The Takachiho Gorge is located just outside the town center, about a 30-40 minute walk from the Takachiho Bus Center. Alternatively, the gorge can be accessed by rental bicycle or taxi.

💛🏝 Bora Bora
Why Go To Bora Bora
The small island of Bora Bora (just about 6 miles long and a little more than 2 miles wide) overflows with beauty. A dormant volcano rises up at its center and fans out into lush jungle before spilling into an aquamarine lagoon. In fact, author James Michener, who wrote "Tales of the South Pacific," called Bora Bora "the most beautiful island in the world." The 18th-century British explorer James Cook even coined it as the "Pearl of the Pacific." The very definition of a tropical getaway, blissful Bora Bora abounds with luxurious resorts, sunny skies, warm waters and friendly locals.
And as you might've already guessed, the main industry on this petite island in French Polynesia and its swarm of tiny motu (islands) is tourism. To that end, you can snorkel, explore Vaitape (Bora Bora's main port), hike Mount Otemanu and more. But there's a catch: Bora Bora is expensive – very expensive. In short, visit Bora Bora for natural beauty, visit for utter relaxation and visit if you have the money.

San Francisco, California
The iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, historic streetcars
San Francisco is a truly unique American city and one of the world's great vacation spots. Explore its hills, ride the cable cars that climb them, and eat some seafood at Fisherman's Wharf. Also spend some time exploring Marin County on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge, including the picturesque town of Sausalito. The giant redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument are only 30 minutes away and also well worth a side trip.
Be sure to also make time for a visit to or even better, a drive across, the Golden Gate Bridge. This monument to modern engineering genius spans the strait that connects San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The almost two-mile-long, six-lane bridge connects the Northern California city with Marin County.
Opened in 1937, the bridge has a unique, geometric beauty and can be viewed from many areas on either side of its span. Some of the best views are from the Marin Headlands, a hilly part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, a national park that includes areas on either side of the bridge.

🏔🏞 The Grand Canyon, Arizona
This incredible sight, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is in the U.S. state of Arizona. It's one of those beautiful places for which photos or video just don't do it justice-its sheer size and scope are hard to comprehend.
With geology formed over the past two billion years, yes billion, the 277-mile-long canyon itself is believed to have been started around five to six million years ago. It was formed by the flow of the Colorado River, which still flows through it and continues to erode the geology along its course. The Grand Canyon is up to 18 miles wide in places and up to a mile deep. Imagine standing on the edge, looking down a sheer rock wall almost a mile to the river below.
Most visitors come to the area referred to as the South Rim. This is where a number of impressive hiking trails into the Grand Canyon begin and great overlooks are spread along the rim road, known as Desert View Drive. A range of accommodations is available here and nearby, from tents to a rustic luxury canyon-side resort built from logs. A few accommodations are also found on the remote North Rim.
Many visitors access the canyon via the historic Grand Canyon Railway, which runs from the town of Williams, Arizona. The 64-mile rail line provides an entertaining way to get to the canyon with food and live music onboard

🌊👙🍾 Champagne Pool
The Champagne Pool is a remarkable geothermal feature located in the Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland, near Rotorua, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of the most popular and visually stunning attractions in the region, drawing in numerous visitors each year.
The pool itself is a large, hot spring characterized by its vibrant colors and effervescent appearance, which is reminiscent of a glass of champagne. The name “Champagne Pool” is derived from the constant release of carbon dioxide bubbles that rise to the surface, resembling the effervescence of champagne.
The Champagne Pool is renowned for its extraordinary geological features. It measures approximately 65 meters (213 feet) in diameter and reaches a depth of around 62 meters (203 feet). The pool’s striking hues are caused by a combination of minerals and chemicals present in the water, including gold, silver, mercury, and arsenic, which create a mesmerizing blend of vibrant orange, green, and yellow colors.
The water temperature of the Champagne Pool is consistently high, hovering around 74°C (165°F). This extreme heat is attributed to the underlying geothermal activity that occurs deep within the Earth’s crust. The surrounding area is dotted with geothermal vents and geysers, contributing to the fascinating and otherworldly ambiance of the site.
The Champagne Pool is not only visually captivating but also holds great scientific value. It is considered a rare example of a hot spring with a silica terrace, which forms due to the gradual deposition of silica-rich minerals over an extended period. The silica terrace around the pool’s edge creates a beautiful and delicate rim, adding to the pool’s unique allure

#halloween2023
The custom of trick-or-treating, in which children dress up in costume and solicit treats from neighbors, became popular in the United States in the early 20th century as Irish and Scottish communities revived the Old World custom of “guising,” in which a person would dress in costume and tell a joke, recite a poem, or perform some other trick in exchange for a piece of fruit or other treat. By 1950, trick-or-treating for candy had become one of Halloween’s most popular activities. Today, Halloween is one of the biggest holidays for candy sales in the United States, estimated to be more than $3 billion,

Bánffy Castle
#fallingseason
Bánffy Castle has many architectural features including Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical and Gothic styles. The castle has undergone many different construction phases and is owned by the Banffy family.
Between the years 1437 and 1543, the Banffy family built this castle and lived here up until 1944. At this point, they were evacuated by the Germans who turned it into a military hospital.
Towards the end of the war, the castle was burned by retreating German troops, and then suffered neglect after the war when it was looted for building materials, and vandalised.
However, Bánffy Castle has been included on the World Monuments Watch and it’s expected that the castle complex will be completely restored by 2026.
In 2012, the Transylvania Trust established the Electric Castle Music Festival, where some of the revenue helps to support the conservation work

Bran Castle
#fallingseason
Bran Castle is a landmark and National Monument in Transylvania and is known as Dracula’s Castle.
The castle is often linked with Bram Stokers ‘Count Dracula’ although the author never actually visited Transylvania. However, he depicts the scenes in his book so well, that you would never realise.
The surrounding villages believe in the existence of evil spirits, ghosts or ‘strigoi’, and until half a century ago thought these individuals were living among them.
A strigoi is someone that leads a normal life in the day, until their souls leave their bodies at night and they come out to hunt their prey.
Today, the castle is a museum that has been dedicated to displaying furniture and art pieces collected by Queen Maria, who was the castle's previous royal resident.
Along with her exhibitions, and her husband King Ferdinand's room, the castle also has exhibits about Romanian vampire lore, Vlad the Impaler and Bram Stoker.
Bran Castle is one of the most popular Romanian tourist attractions and is a must-visit.

Bicaz Gorge Romania 🇷🇴
#fallingseason
Feel smaller than an ant in this deep valley gorge that weaves its way between ancient boulders and sheer cliffs.
Yet another magnificent road that adds to the appeal of Romania as an exemplary road trip destination, the Bicaz Gorge serves as a (narrow) passageway between the provinces of Moldova (not the nearby country of Moldova) and Transylvania. The Bicaz Gorge allows access to the famous Red Lake as noted above, into which the Bicaz River discharges.
Created by the torrid waters of the below, the 8-kilometer road here winds through steep canyons and ravines with 300m-high limestone rocks towering on one idea and precipitous drops on the other. Not for the faint of heart, this dramatic drive also offers a peerless view of the Ceahlau Mountains.

Merry Cemetery
#fallingseason
Merry Cemetery
Ponder this colorful and humorous reinterpretation of life and death in a small rural cemetery.
An open-air museum and a national tourist attraction that has somewhat recently rose to prominence due to one specific unusual feature of this cemetery. The Merry Cemetary, as the name suggests, does not treat death as something indelibly solemn but instead that death should be a moment overflowing with joy and expectation of a better life.
This belief is connected with the local Dacian culture and results here in bright illustrations and dark humor being exhibited on gravestones. “Underneath this heavy cross. Lies my mother in law poor… Try not to wake her up. For if she comes back home. She’ll bite my head off.”

Scărişoara Glacier Cave
#fallingseason
Scărişoara Ice Cave is home to the biggest underground glacier in Romania and the second biggest in Southeastern Europe
It’s considered to be one of the natural wonders in Romania and was first mentioned in 1863 by Austrian Geographer Arnold Schmidl.
The Scărişoara Ice Cave is estimated to have formed around 3,500 years ago when this area was covered by glaciers.
What’s even more interesting is that although the cave was first mentioned in 1863, the exact date when the cave was first discovered by humans is unknown meaning it could have been discovered centuries before.
Only certain parts of the cave are open to tourists and that includes the Big Hall, the Church and the entrance shaft. Access to the other chambers is reserved for scientists only.

Valea Cetăţii Cave
#fallingseason
Climb into a huge limestone cave carved out by water and time under the mountains.
The Valea Cetăţii Cave and surrounding natural protected area are all exceptional beautiful – however, the standout highlight has to be the jaw-dropping Cathedral Hall reached through a short walk through an ancient forest. Within this 30,000 cubic meter cave are small pools of water that perfectly mirror the extraordinary calcite formations and white arches that hang from above.
A rare chance to get up close to this natural geological formations – and without undertaking a claustrophobic expedition of abseiling as in many other places. It is conveniently located only a few kilometers from the city of Râşnov, though for some reason international tourists have yet to discover the Valea Cetăţii Cave – meaning a more enriching experience for those who wind up at this magical place!

BiertanSibiu Romania 🇷🇴
#fallingseason
Marvel at the fortified church keep which protected its villagers from pillaging invaders over the centuries.
Charming Biertan, one of Transylvania seven villages with Fortified Churches protected by UNESCO, feels lost in time. Horse-drawn carriages, a mess of Saxon-style buildings, a looming fortified church, and cute medieval inns are all found here. With three tiers of 35-foot-high defensive walls and an intricate system of towers and gates, it should come as no surprise that Beritan was never conquered in medieval times. As a result, the village remains to give a striking and authentic picture of the cultural landscape of southern Transylvania.
The village is also famous for another reason, there was only one divorce amongst its residents for over 300 years. This is because inside the fortified church was a ‘marital prison’ where couples were locking to divorced for six weeks were locked up to solve their issues. To find out more, visit the phenomenal museum onside.

Corvin CastleRomania 🇷🇴
#fallingseason
Relive your childhood at this fairytale fortified castle protecting the Western Carpathians. Yes – The Corvin Castle is also the closest you will get in real life to living out your Hogwarts dreams.
Initially constructed in the 14th century, with its fourth and final phase of construction being complete in the 19th century, the Corvin Castle, stands as a Gothic-Renaissance masterpiece that was worth waiting for. Today is has stood the test of time and is still standing amongst the largest castles in Europe, in large part thanks to a recent (fancifully) restoration effort after a calamitous fire and decades of neglect.
Despite being besieged by modern steel mills and industrial buildings, Corvin Castle still offers a spellbinding attraction from its fairytale location atop a rocky bluff connected by only a thin bridge for access. Like seemingly every castle in Romania, some legends associate this place with Vlad the Impaler – but the elaborate architecture and endless rooms and courtyards to explore ensure Corvin Castle is one of the best places to visit In Romania
