Introduction


Hi everyone it's @LivingUKTaiwan here with today's edition of the #TravelDigest. I love it when we get to add unique locations on Pinmapple. Today one of our top 3 post is at Marshall Islands. If you don't know where this is (I didn't 🙃 ) check out this post. Our other two top 3 posts will take you to an innocent looking dam in Romania and finally we have an epic post which takes us on tour around Pula in Croatia. Enjoy!


All featured posts are visible on the Editors Choice Map and upvoted by @pinmapple, @blocktrades, @theycallmedan and the curation trail. For more travel digests check out #traveldigest.


Our winners today 🍍


🥇 Airplane Graveyard Roi-Namur by @diveratt

At the end of the war when the troops pulled out and the air field was abandoned any aircraft that were scrap or not fit to fly were dumped from barges into the lagoon. It's not easy to get to, first you fly into the US base at Kwajalein then it is about 8 hours steaming north. You can't stay on Roi-Namur so all the diving must be done from a liveaboard dive boat.

🥈 Let's travel together #150 - Barajul Gura Apelor (Gura Apelor Dam) by @gabrielatravels

But, as peaceful and harmless the place looks like, today we count 21 years since one of the biggest disasters of the country happened at Gura Apelor Dam. I'm talking about one of those moments when we get to see nature unleashed which turns a great touristic destination into a real hell surface after just a few days and nights since the rain never stopped bringing around 1,000 cubic meters of water per second.

🥉 A walk through the old buildings of the city of Pula by @denisdenis

went along Prvomajska Street, which used to be a brothel street during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, because the city had a lot of troops, mostly navies.so I photographed the terraces which are poorly viewed and to me they are beautiful
