Like ancient history and visiting Sanur, Bali?
This is off the beaten track but easy to find.
“The pillar was established by King Sri Kesari Warmadewa, the first king of the Balinese Warmadewa dynasty, and bears a long inscription where the king describes his military campaign on the island. It is located in the Belanjong (Blanjong) Temple, where it is housed under a protective enclosure and is often decorated and partially covered with devotional cloth.
The pillar was only discovered in 1932,[2] and has remained where it was initially found.”

This has been a conversation I’ve been having a lot lately.
What does “solo” traveller mean?
👉🏼Is it because you’re single?
👉🏼Is it because you spend the whole time of your trip alone?
The way I view it, the moment you take that first step on a journey, whether you will spend your trip solo, meet up with a tour group, friends, or a mix of both, it’s YOUR solo journey.
Whether you’re married, have a partner or are single, if you take that trip alone, again it’s your SOLO journey.
SOLO TRAVEL-is your own experience on how you want to travel, don’t feel you need to travel a certain way to have a valid solo travel experience!
If you want to mix it up with the time you spend alone or time spent with a new group of other travellers, (like free walking tours, day tours, meet-ups or small group tours) that’s totally up to you!
Some of my best friends I have meet on my solo travels!
Your JOURNEY, your way.

Firstly, for some just getting there was difficult. ✈️
Add on ongoing power supply issues. ⚡️
Then a hurricane! 🌀
But was it all worth it to see the “rainbows” of Cuba, its culture and its people? YES!
Some journeys are not easy, but that doesn’t make them any less transformative and powerful.
Where have you been that was difficult to get to but was worth every minute to get there?
