Enjoying holidays in the open air is a lot of fun. With the cool, open air and green atmosphere, it's easy to feel tired after a week of activities. Balekambang in Solo is my current vacation destination. This place is located near Manahan Stadium, Solo City. After going through renovations, BaleKambang was finally opened to the public.
I visited BaleKambang on my holiday, visitors are allowed to enter at 10:00, and the ticket price per person is 5k while the motorcycle parking is also 5k. Many visitors brought food and enjoyed it under the cool trees. Many young people bring their partners to enjoy the fresh air under the shady trees at Balekambang.
There is a waterfall exhibition that can dance, when the Bengawan Solo song is played. The Bale Kambang waterfall is located at the back corner of the location. In addition to spots to relax and enjoy the cool atmosphere, BaleKambang also provides a place to eat for visitors. However, the price of food inside the location will be a little more expensive. So, many visitors choose to bring food from home, because it saves costs and also according to taste.
However, because I was in Solo as a migrant who was assigned to study, so I chose to buy a location, as well as to have a culinary adventure in the city of Solo. Because Solo is famous for its diverse culinary and delicious variants. Unfortunately, I visited Balekambang alone, because at that time my friend from Lampung could not be invited to go, because he had other activities to do. Nonetheless, it did not diminish the beauty of enjoying Balekambang, Manahan, Solo city.
I went to the location by ordering GOJEK from the app, even though the distance was close to where I live, but because I was alone and the Solo weather was quite hot. So I was lazy to walk. Although on weekends I often jog around the field. But when it comes to walking alone it feels very embarrassing. Solo is not an area I know much about.
At Balekambang there is also a gallery space, which displays paintings. I visited the gallery alone, while some people visited the gallery with their partners. I spent a few hours at Balekambang, because I felt peaceful and calm. The second factor is that when I am alone in my boarding house, I get bored and miss my family.
Enjoying the green atmosphere can rejuvenate my energy that has been lost after a week of activities. The green atmosphere makes me fresh again so that it makes me excited to do activities again on Monday. Moreover, this week my activities are too busy, with learning tasks as a curriculum coordinator. As a new thing, which I am learning.
So, going to a cool and comfortable place can be scheduled for someone, as a form of reward to yourself for all the routines that have been done. So, refreshing does not need to be expensive, but can also be done in a simple place. Rewarding yourself is very important for your physical and mental health.
