In Estonia, the land of ice, paradise summers and endless sunsets, the ice road across the frozen Baltic Sea has been opened again. It is the first and shortest of the six such roads, 3.9 kilometers long, and vehicles weighing up to two and a half tons can drive along it. The same road traffic regulations do not apply there as on asphalt roads, because you must not, among other things, be strapped in while driving on an icy road! Find out why below.
Traveling is good for our mind, soul and heart. And also for our relationship with our better half. The best memories are created when we leave our comfort zone and try something completely new together. Here's a list of places and adventures to add to your #bucketlist around the world dating list.
Château Louis XIV recently became the most expensive apartment in the world! It was sold to an anonymous buyer from the Middle East for an incredible 301 million US dollars (275 million euros), thus beating the previous record of a penthouse in London (One Hyde Park), which was sold in 2011 for 221 million dollars (192 million euros). Although reminiscent of a 17th century château (the time of the reign of the Sun King aka Louis XIV), the opulent château located on the outskirts of Paris was actually only built in 2011.
Many hostels around the world are known for deviating from established notions of tourist accommodation. A good example is the Slovenian hostel Celica, which is far from the only one famous for its unique concept. Berlin's Generator Hostel also "invented" its own style, using the trompe-l'oeil (French term for "fooling the eye") technique for the interior, an ancient illusionistic technique that confuses the eye.
Those who have already visited the ski resorts in the Alps this year wonder who stole the winter. After 2000, almost all Christmases in Slovenia were green, and 2015 (unfortunately) was no different. A white Christmas has clearly become more than just a thing of the imagination of the past, rather than a reality. But, as said, it is even worse. Alpine ski resorts are also showing a poor image, and some popular destinations are already starting to suffer chronically from a lack of snow. Photos from the field show the price they are paying for the unusually warm weather this year.
The Apple Museum, a museum with the largest private collection of Apple products in the world, was recently opened in Prague! It contains a rich selection of Macs, iOS devices and other peripherals manufactured by Apple between 1976 and 2012, including real rarities such as Apple cameras. There is also a bistro with vegan food and many quotes that adorn the walls of the Prague museum.
In Australia, some literally live down there ("Down Under" is Australia's nickname). Namely, the mining town of Coober Pedy is a town with more than 3,500 inhabitants gathered from all over the world (from more than 45 countries), located in South Australia. It is an unprecedented city that has been supplying the world with opals since 1915, and the mining town also relies on tourism.

Did you know that in Sweden, McDonald's opened McSki, the ski version of McDrive? Yes, you read that right. In the popular Lindvallen ski resort, you can enjoy McDonalds treats without having to take off your skis. It's true that McDonald's is known for its interesting restaurants, but you probably didn't think you'd ever find it in the middle of a ski resort, did you?
