Dear Settlers,

The Excelsior has traveled to destinations far away from anything your Settlers have ever even heard of. In September we asked you to write about her adventures! We received over 200 stories and decided to increase the awardees :)!

Congratulations to the winners:
Julie3 (DE) & Thejollyone (UK)!
