Our winners today🥇 STOP AT GLORIEUSES ISLAND - PARADISIAC ATOLL - 15 PHOTOS by @marc-allaria
We are in the spring of 2014, or rather in the autumn since the story takes place in the southern hemisphere, and begins in Mayotte. For those who do not know the island of Mayotte, it is a French stone located in the geographical archipelago of Comoros and quite close to Madagascar. I am a teacher at that time and I take my vacation when the Ministry of National Education decides. Things have changed a lot since then, believe me!! With my partner, we are planning a week on the atoll of Glorieuses located a hundred nautical miles from Mayotte, maybe more, I don’t remember much anymore. The Glorieuses are part of what France calls the TAFF. Terres Australes and Antartiques Françaises. For the non-French among you, let’s say that these are uninhabited remains of French colonization. It is very likely that in those days, France did not chase anyone away from these isolated stones. But well, it’s 10,000kms away, 15,000kms maybe from Metropolitan France, it’s a few dozen kilometers from Madagascar (which also claims these territories), but it’s French! Go figure something out!! On the other hand, when one is like me more sensitive to Nature than to human society, it is not worse like that. In the current state of things, France has installed some soldiers to mark its territory and forbids any tourist, industrial, societal or other development. Believe me, with jewelry like this, it would take a completely different management to quickly turn these natural paradises into vacation sites for the rich. It may also be the future of the Chagos who are slowly and logically returning to Mauritius, one of the first tourist industrialists in the world... But that’s another story.

🥈 Italy - A Journey Through Time: Sforza Castle in Milan by @relf87
Hello Milan! For the final city of my Europe trip, we took the train from Rome to Milan and this was the Milan Centrale Station! Was amazed at how grand looking their train station looked! So let's hit the ground running and the first place of interest in Milan was Sforza Castle!
There were many variations of the name of this place. There's Sforza Castle, Sforzesco Castle, and in their local language, Castello Sforzesco. We actually arrived at one of the side gates (instead of the front entrance) but we decided to head in first. Interesting that they had this thing that looked like a drawbridge, but it was all concrete already.

Entrance was so big that as we know Royal families are always symbolised by elephant. Enters was big that an elephant can easily passed it. It was the main purple and also there were a lot of soldiers protecting fort from enemy.
