Though Tombs of the Kings isn’t quite as amazing as the Archaeological Park, that’s really not even a fair comparison. It’s still absolutely worth a visit.
Paphos Archaeological Park is easily one of the more memorable things I’ve seen recently. The park is absolutely massive, and is crammed with fascinating Roman ruins.

If you’re in Kochi, Fort Kochi is quite scenic and makes for a very easy day trip. It’s just a quick, cheap ferry ride away.
There’s a Hindu temple in Jaipur called the Hanuman Ji Temple that’s so chock-full of monkeys that it’s become known as the Monkey Temple. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you’ll know that if I have a chance to see some monkeys, I’m going to see those monkeys.
