At the Ende of the Earth
... early banana pancake and coffee, we were ready to face whatever the day threw at us. After all, it was only 4-5 hours to Ende. Initial signs were promising. The bus was not packed, either with produce or people. We even seemed to move ...
The Guide That Wouldn't Leave
... about how small the plane would be, but it was actually a small jet - a focker and we were served cake. We skipped over Indonesia and bounced around over the clouds. The clouds were massive and hurtling up in the sky above us. How do you fly a plane ...
864km,37hrs,2down,1up & Lakes of Kelimutu....
... the villagers along the way huddled round little fires and wrapped from head to toe in sari's, getting the market ready. A quick stop in ende for coffee and on again, stop for lunch again where we didn't buy more bananas or alcohol we just took a walk by ...
Le Kelimutu !!!!!!!!!!!
On en reve, Flores l'a fait. Aller regarder le lever de soleil en haut du volcan du Kelimutu, et observer la couleur de ses trois lacs changer a mesure que le soleil reprend ses droits dans le ciel. Et ba franchement, mais franchement, on a rarement vu ...
Highway to Hell
... of the various things I've been doing, I thought I'd write a little about Indonesian transport. Traveling through Indonesia can be both a exhileratingly and frustrating experience. Timetables are non-existent, buses almost always only leave when full, ...
Ry Causes Riot At Local School
... fly to Kuala Lumpur to get visa stamped,then fly back wherever and get the other 2weeks to see the rest of Indonesia,so I decided I wanted to see Java even though people were talking warily after the recent earthquake and Tsunami in Yogyakarta.East Timor ...
It's a long and winding road.....
W nice and early, we were packed and ready to go by 8.30. At 9am, our driver shows up in a fairly decent car. The bags are loaded into the car and we are ready to go, when the driver tells us we can choose to pay another 200,000rp (NZD$30) on top ...
Colourful lakes and a secret box!
Kelimutu is one of the best experience I've had so far, worth every single drop of sweat to get here!! The place is magical, with lakes that change colour every few years. When we were there the lakes where black, turquoise and green. But I've seen ...
Village life and the ever-changing Kelimutu lakes
Moni is a very tiny village that is fairly basic. There are a few places to stay, and a few very basic restaurants. The place we stayed in had been described in Lonely Planet as a couple of ramshackle bungalows – but the owners replaced ...
Fluffy green hills
It took me a while to reach Flores island (3 months), but I've made it! Here we are in Moni :) Moni is a small village up another winding Indonesian road and it's the starting point of the trek to Kelimutu! Up in this hills the ...
Interminable Ferries and Magical Lakes
... a restless night splayed out on the seats (Shen) and a rented floor mat (me), we arrived at the Flores harbor of Ende. I went downstairs to watch our arrival and quickly saw why people preferred the upstairs rooms: the Economy class floor was soaking wet ...
ending up in Ende.....
... where to go to after Kelimutu but will likely get a ferry over to Kupang on West Timor then adventure up to the north on Indonesia for a while. Sorry for the short post and lack of komodo dragon photos but the heat is getting up and we want to get going ...
Ende - endlich angekommen ;)
... Die Fahrt nach Ende dauerte nur gerade 1.5h und war eigentlich noch ganz lustig. Das Stueck des Transflores-Highway zwischen Ende und Moni ist wahnsinnig schoen. Die Strasse fuehrt durch ein relativ tief eingeschnittenes Tal mit einem Fluss in der Mitte, ...
Gunung Kelimutu
Nach dem Frusttag in Bajawa habe ich am naechsten Morgen um 06.00 (hier ist nichts mit ausschlafen...) den oeffentlichen Bus Richtung Moni genommen. Die Fahrt lief voellig entspannt (entgegen den Erwartungen und Erfahrungen aus Sumbawa) und dauerte nicht ...

Flores l'ile aux Fleurs
... voyage… Des le lendemain matin, nous repartons sur les routes á la recherche très stressante d’un moyen de transport pour Ende, a 150 km plus a l’est. La journée démarre plutôt mal et nous sommes tous un peu énervés. Il ...
Kelimutu National Park
... . Surprisingly we had good sunny weather for all day long, just the mint of riding. I would say Flores is the best island of Indonesia. After we came back and Aga left on her scooter to Bajawa I rode my Katie to the port. Loading procedure was same like a ...
Missing ferry to Timor.
... , but it was not really matter. When I arrived port was empty and someone informed me “ferry is not from here, it's from Ende”. Another 200km through the mountains and only 4 hours to do it, maybe more if they delay as usually. How I love this ...
Profugo
... la sera mi invita anche a guardare con lui una partita di calcio alla televisione. Il match clou della giornata e' un fantastico Indonesia-Cambogia, arbitro malese. Ora, non e' per sminuire le qualita' calcistiche dei due Paesi, ma credo che anche l'FC ...

Anxiety in Bimos...
... não são muito de violentar nas ruas...mais gostam de extorquir..e para isso não há pistola, matracas ou chibata que chegue. Chegamos a Ende naquele lindíssimo bimo da Avril Avigne, cor-de-rosa, com muita pelúcia e corações de goma lá dentro. A ...
Kelimutu way up
Se calhar é a última vez que assisto a um nascer do sol num vulcão algures numa ilha indonésia cujo nome começa por um “f” e acaba em “lores”. Acordar às 4 da manhã e ter de lidar com a nervosa senhora que organizou ...

Road Trip
Hmmm.....everyone likes a road trip, right? Beautiful countryside seen whizzing by while you go far too quickly round hairpin corners half way up a mountain.....listening to the same three music tapes at full volume over and over while you inhale ...
Kelimutu
Arriving at Ende airport, Flores, John & I managed to negotiate a deal amongst the bombardment of taxi drivers, to deliver us to the "bus station". We were the 18th & 19th passengers crammed in amongst luggage and livestock in the 12 seater 'bemo' for ...
Crater lakes and a natural jacuzzi
The scenic road between Maumere and Moni (part of the only main on Flores) was enjoyable even though we took it in a squeezy minibus. The small village Moni is very pretty with wooden houses along a windy narrow road going uphill to the Kelimutu volcano. ...
The Caffeine boost
... . “Ah e tal, anda cá, senta-te aqui e bebe um connosco...café com pãozinho, às vezes” é o que parecem dizer em Bahasa Indonesia. Como sou um tipo facílimo, lá vou eu, olhando para trás como que a confirmar se é para mim. Sento-me numa ...
