PART 1 If someone asked me about historical places in Yogyakarta, Borobudur and Prambanan are certainly the first thing that would come to mind. I never knew there is actually an endless list of places to go until my recent visit. My actual plan was to see nearby attractions the first day I arrived. So, I thought Prambanan had to be a great choice as it only took me 25 mins to get there. When I was trying to get a ticket, they offered me a combo which allowed me to see Ratu Boko (King Boko Palace). The ticket included a free shuttle between the two attractions. That was the first time I set foot at Ratu Boko. The place is located only 3 kilometers from Prambanan and is in the hills. To my admiration, the place is magnificent. A firm and sturdy gate made of stacked stone was my first sight of the palace as I entered from palace gateway. The gate looks very majestic on a sunny day, with the bright skies adorning the landscape.
