I’m travelling again friends and this time it’s an adventure. First up Qatar for World Cup to see Canada play Croatia (36 years since they have been there). Then after that the hubby and I are off to Nusa Penida, a 40 min boat ride off of Bali, Indonesia for several days of diving and snorkeling with Scuba Junkie. We cannot wait!
So in honour of this trip, I thought it would be fun to do a blog post of vintage “Visit Indonesia” travel posters from the 1930s-1950s.
Let the travel fun begin!
