A 102-year-old Ship turned into a Rich Forest

 


You will see a unique spectacle at Homebush Bay in Sydney, where a 102-year-old ship has a rich flora in its rusty hull!


The SS Ayrfield, a 1,140-ton ship, was traveling between Newcastle and Sydney in the 1960s, transporting supplies for US troops to the Pacific.


After the end of World War II, the SS Ayrfield, along with many other ships used, were left there to disintegrate.


But today, so many years later, the rusty ship is a unique spectacle and attraction for many tourists, thanks to its lush vegetation!

Beautiful & Amazing Libraraies

 There are plenty of breathtaking places to visit in the world.

There are natural wonders like the Grand Canyon or ancient ruins like the Colosseum, or fantastic buildings with sky-high observation decks.

But there are a few places, pretty much in every city, that you might not expect to take your breath away: libraries.

No, you don’t have to be Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" to appreciate a good library. So many libraries, whether they’re several centuries or just a few decades old, can be a wonderful stop to make on your next trip.

Some libraries are even famous institutions of some of the best cities in the world. Libraries like the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, for instance, has been photographed and appeared in movies hundreds (or possibly thousands) of times. You’ve probably seen this library, even if you haven’t been to New York.

Or, there are libraries that are celebrations of innovative design. The interesting, clean, and minimal architecture of the Stuttgart Library in Germany, for instance, would make any modern design-lover leap for joy.

And some libraries look as if you’re stepping into a royal palace, like the aptly-named Royal Portuguese Reading Room in Brazil, or the Rampur Raza Library in India.

Hotel Made of Glass

See Inside The World’s First 

All-Glass Underwater Hotel Suite



The Maldives is famous for underwater attractions, like an underwater spa and a restaurant 20-feet below sea, and in November the world’s first all-glass underwater hotel suite opens there.


Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, a five-star island resort, is debuting the suite, which cost $15 million to build. Guests will be able to stay in the suite as part of a package that will cost around $250,000 (though the resort has not yet determined exactly what will be included for the price).



Named “Muraka,” the undersea hotel room is a two-level structure. Floating atop the water a living room, bedroom, glass bathroom with egg-shaped tub facing the sea, kitchen, bar, gym, butler’s quarters and infinity pool and deck facing the sunset.


A spiral staircase descends down to the undersea suite that sits 16.4 feet below sea level on the ocean floor, with king-sized bedroom, living area and bathroom. With its clear and curved, acrylic dome-shaped ceiling and all-glass walls, the suite features 180-degree, all-encompassing views of surrounding marine life. Completely submerged in sea, it has the feel of a larger-than-life aquarium.

The underwater bathroom is a highlight. The glass wall look outs directly into a bed of colorful coral, where guests can watch hundreds of tropical fish, sting rays and even nurse sharks feeding.



The underwater suite can accommodate up to nine guests.

The Conrad also has a submerged restaurant.

And there are other amazing underwater attractions around the world, from the Niyama Private Islands in the Maldives, where guests can enjoy a cocktail nearly 20 feet under the Indian Ocean to Manta Resort’s Underwater Room off Pemba Island on the coast of Tanzania for $1,500 per night.
