The Calyx at Sydney Botanical Gardens. Original Photography</a></b><br><br><p>First, @allyinspirit takes us on another Springtime walk around the Botanical Gardens in Sydney, Australia. This time she visits the Calyx, which is currently hosting a beautiful carnivorous plants exhibition. As she wanders around the spectacular floristry arrangements, hanging baskets, and beautifully hand-made glass art, we get a glimpse of how the author Lewis Carroll may have been inspired by such a place back in his day. From the misty Green Wall, to mini swamps, to Peatlands and Sphagnum mosses, this captivating post is a visual and literary delight.</p><sub><a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com/?post=wednesday-walk-carnivorous-plants-exhibition-plants-with-bite-the-calyx-at-sydney-botanical-gardens-original-photography'>Find this post on the map</a> <a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com/?author=allyinspirit'>Find this user on the map</a></sub><br><a href='https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@allyinspirit/wednesday-walk-carnivorous-plants-exhibition-plants-with-bite-the-calyx-at-sydney-botanical-gardens-original-photography'><img src='https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme9U1sHvo9mfXiXCaQjgX6hGmj3a1pdy2TjKq56Fgt61M/ORIGINAL.1000-2446.jpg'><br/></a><br><hr><br><br><b><a href='https://steemit.com/photomag/@mnallica/a-travel-story-sinop-prison-and-dark-tourism-bfbf66ecfdddb'>#2 A Travel Story : Sinop Prison and Dark Tourism</a></b><br><br><p>Next, @mnallica takes us to Sinop Prison, Turkey. It dates back 1214 AD and was originally a fortress since the sea bounds it on three sides. In 1887 it officially became a prison and in more recent times became known as "Alcatraz of Anatolia" since nobody escaped from it. During its time as a prison, it housed several important and famous political prisoners including Sabahattin Ali. It also hosted its fair share of criminals, some of whom had sentences ranging from 115 years to 200 years. In 1999 the prison was closed and turned into a museum, which you can visit all year round.</p><sub><a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com/?post=a-travel-story-sinop-prison-and-dark-tourism-bfbf66ecfdddb'>Find this post on the map</a> <a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com/?author=mnallica'>Find this user on the map</a></sub><br><a href='https://steemit.com/photomag/@mnallica/a-travel-story-sinop-prison-and-dark-tourism-bfbf66ecfdddb'><img src='https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfHYfTzfpzqUV9zpCTmg7jNKnuQyXCFVRkpvkuE7C7GfB/_DSC2483%20copy.jpg'><br/></a><br><hr><br><br><b><a href='https://steemit.com/steempress/@silenteyes/halfwaybetweennorthpoleandtheequatormyfirsthikingexperiencebrucetrailontario-3wmm4wijgl'>#3 Halfway between North pole and the Equator ~ My first hiking experience, Bruce trail, Ontario</a></b><br><br><p>Finally, @silenteyes takes us hiking along the Bruce Trail in Ontario, Canada. This is one of Ontario's longest trails extending from Niagara to Tobermory, with many side trails. One trail even takes you to the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole. Although not a hiker, the pictures of the turquoise water above the limestone cliff lured her in. And while all the paths are marked, it's still pretty easy to get lost, which is eventually what happened. However, after teaming up with some other lost hikers, she makes her way back to the rendezvous point where a warm meal awaits.</p><sub><a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com/?post=halfwaybetweennorthpoleandtheequatormyfirsthikingexperiencebrucetrailontario-3wmm4wijgl'>Find this post on the map</a> <a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com/?author=silenteyes'>Find this user on the map</a></sub><br><a href='https://steemit.com/steempress/@silenteyes/halfwaybetweennorthpoleandtheequatormyfirsthikingexperiencebrucetrailontario-3wmm4wijgl'><img src='https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQCoe7z3Svcorw4bHY41aDJi45D4D67MqwrhBjR9KgrUQ/DSC_0051.JPG'><br/></a><br><hr><br><h2>Honorable Mentions</h2><br><ul><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travel/@betterthanhome/a-walk-to-surfers-paradise-ein-spaziergang-zu-surfers-paradise'>Surfers Paradise, Australia</a> by @betterthanhome</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/photography/@varya-davydova/pink-villa-in-borovets'>Borovets, Bulgaria</a> by @varya-davydova</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travel/@greddyforce/continental-plates-drifting-apart'>Continental plates, Iceland</a> by @greddyforce</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travel/@philfreetotravel/my-trip-around-balkans-4th-stop-belgrade-serbia'>Belgrade, Serbia</a> by @philfreetotravel</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/colourfulphotography/@patschwork/trip-to-montenegro-v-dubrovnik-croatia-en-de'>Dubrovnik, Croatia</a> by @patschwork</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travelfeed/@riche-gould/experience-sao-paulo-the-medusa'>São Paulo, Brazil</a> by @riche-gould</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travel/@world-travel-pro/real-life-captured-163-ankara-turkey-part-one-10-photos-1541203126'>Ankara, Turkey</a> by @world-travel-pro</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travelfeed/@worldcapture/tripreport-6-ko-lan-thailand-32f756864172aest'>Ko Lan, Thailand</a> by @worldcapture</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travel/@travelgirl/ct0ulmzb'>Old Town, Krakow, Poland</a> by @travelgirl</li><li><a href='https://steemit.com/travel/@haydae/5-places-to-visit-in-fez-morocco'>Fez, Morocco</a> by @haydae</li></ul><hr><h2>Support Steemitworldmap</h2><br><p>The more support we get, the more we can give back!<br><a href='https://steemauto.com/dash.php?i=2'>Vote for the Daily Traveldigest</a><br><a href='https://steemauto.com/dash.php?trail=steemitworldmap&amp;i=1'>Follow our curation trail</a><br><a href='https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html'>Delegate Steempower</a></p><h2><a href='https://steemit.com/steemitworldmap/@steemitworldmap/steemitworldmap-what-do-we-do-how-do-we-do-it-who-are-we-what-can-you-do'>Want to learn more?</a></h2><br><a href='http://www.steemitworldmap.com'><img src='https://steemitimages.com/DQmNqFCPEbwtdzKc4fu8YXpujGhnY8KBEdx6XmBu99C94nj/image.png'><br/></a> <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://haveyoubeenhere.com/wp/2018/11/09/travel-digest-364/ </em><hr/></center>
