🥈 Historic towns of Kaysersberg and Kientzheim, so close yet so far by @haydae

There wasno mistaking we were in Alsace. One look at the colorful half timbered housesand the vineyards stretching out on a hill above the town was enough to tell usso. The Christmas store was a good clue too, as we had never seen anything likeit elsewhere in France. Alsatian villages boasted indeed the most famousChristmas markets in the country with Kaysersberg ranking among the mostbeautiful markets of all. In mid-July, enough to say that Christmas was stillmonths away but Kaysersberg was as magic as we had been told.

🥉 Chuuk Lagoon part 3. Where to stay and go diving. by @diveratt

Built in 1975 as a cruising yacht this rich man's toy was converted in 2016 to serve as a dive charter vessel in Truk Lagoon. Like the other two boats, the Truk Master will happily accommodate divers of all skill levels but they do run a couple of exclusive technical charters every year. One interesting feature of the Truk Master is its not always in Chuuk and one of the very few vessels that also does charters to Bikini Atoll another very exclusive wreck diving destination. Bikini is a purely technical diving location as many of the wrecks are around the 50m plus depth and very few dives are in the recreational ranges.
