🏆 TRAVELFEED WEEKLY ROUND-UP #33

in #travelfeed5 years ago

Welcome to today's Weekly Travelfeed roundup brought to you by @for91days and @rimicane.


We received so many great travel article submissions this week, that it's been really hard to choose the very best. But that's what we're doing today, in this end-of-week roundup. We'll start with some unique animal encounters at the Antarctic, before we move onto a much more rowdy location: New Orleans' French Quarter. Our final winning article this week is about HobbitLand in New Zealand. Congrats to all our winners!

Please note - we are still in search for one more curator to cover a day or two a week. If you are interested, please contact us on discord (kindly find a link at the bottom of the page). Now let’s get reading!


Three BEST posts of the week

A quick recap - For the weekly round-up, we feature the best 3 posts out of the ones previously featured in the daily topic curation posts in the past week and on top of that 10 honorable mentions that closely did not make it into our resteems last week. The rewards will go to the first three places as follows: 1st place - 3 STEEM, 2nd place - 2 STEEM and 3rd place - 1 STEEM.

The 1st Place

THE FRIENDLY WHALE - A blog from The Map to Paradise - A documentary by Bluebottle Films
written by @bluebottlefilms

It is 4:30 am. I cannot sleep. My hands still feel cold to the core from staying out on the water after sunset, much longer than I should have stayed out. This is because once the sun goes down in Antarctica, the temperatures drop to below zero.


The 2nd Place

New Orleans Bourbon Street Scenes // Smudged Neon and the Sense of Strangers in the Night [Mildly NSFW]
written by @crimsonclad

Bathed in vivid flickering hues and with a quiet roar that drowns out the hum of the neon, the crowds roll down Bourbon Street. Waves of jubilance and excitement, tempered with a subtle desperation sweep plastic beads into the gutters and bright smiles into seedy parlours.


The 3rd Place

Travelling with Stabilo #30: Hobbiton 经纬游踪 #30: 霍比顿
written by @stabilowl

The Shire was shot in a set of private farmlands close to a town called Matamata, about 2 hours drive north from Rotorua. The farm, known officially as the Hobbiton Movie Set, is now a major tourist attraction that attracts J. R. R. Tolkien fans and LOTR movie buffs.
