#1 Owned a Resort for 24 Hours in Bantayan Island, Cebu Philippines

Cebu is one of the most famous islands in Philippines and we normally expect it to be flooded with people. However, @steemspots must have hit the jackpot as they checked into a resort and had it all to themselves. Perhaps this is because its a bit further away from the main crowd, but the upside is the tranquility and peacefulness. They say it has "dancing coconut tree leaves, the sound of the sea waves, the cozy feel of sea breeze" I want to go there immediately as its so beautiful. In the evening, there was a temporary blackout but that didn't dampen their mood and they actually went outdoors to take some long exposure photos of their names. I'm going to try that next time.

#2 A Travel Story : Diyarbakir - Paris of the Southeast Turkiye - Part III

Our second featured post today is from @mnallica who takes us on a tour of Diyarbakir in Turkey. The city has a rich history and lots of narrow cobbled street, a heaven for photographers. Near to the Grand Mosque is the Sipahiler Bazaar one of the main trading centers of the past and a popular tourist spot. Next we go to the Hasan Pasha Inn another popular tourist area where breakfast is recommended by @mnallica. And finally we go to The House of Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı, the mansion that used to belong to Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı, one of the best poets in Turkiye.

#3 Stuttgart, Germany - Comparing the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche Museum

For someone who doesn't drive and doesn't care about cars, @izzynoel was such a good sport to visit two car museums in Stuttgart with her friend. The first one was the Mercedes Benz museum who happened to be celebrating their 125 anniversary of their first prototype and there was a 40 minute queue to get in. The highlight for @izzynoel here was Races and Records a mock racetrack around wall. The second was the Porsche Museum, this was housed in an stunning building held up by stilts., 80 vehicles are on display inside and each are ready to be rolled off to be driven. Check out her post to see which museum she liked best.
