Labuan Bajo and our boat trip back to Lombok
This is a top pick! ... on Rinca island. The boat company we went with is called Perama and they are probably the most reliable and respected tour operators in Indonesia. It was a 2 day/2 night journey. We slept on the deck as it was a bit cheaper and it turned out to be much ...
Another Fun Bus Journey
This is a top pick! Another fun local bus ride to Bima. Just over-nighted here in yet another grotty hotel. The next morning we got a bus to the ferry terminal in Sape 2 hrs east of Bima. ...
Beaches, Boats and Diving
This is a top pick! ... to practise their English on us and we responded by speaking the little bits of Indonesian we had picked up. Eventually we landed at Labuanbajo at around 7pm at night where we fought through the crowds, headed for a beer (the Pelni ship was dry!!) and ...
West Flores
This is a top pick! The ferry from Sape to Labuan Bajo was very pleasant and took about 7 hrs to cross. We met an interesting French man by the name of Pierre and hung out with him for a time. On the way there were nice views of Komodo island and Rinca islands. The sea was ...
Feed them meat
This is a top pick! Well, I didn't get to feed anyone to a rampant dragon during our visit which was a real shame - there were plenty of loud and large Americans about yesterday that were perfect candidates for a quick shove resulting in a bloody sacrifice. Unfortunately ...
The long, dirt road
This is a top pick! Labuanbajo is not a particularly exciting town. It is, more or less, a long dirt road fronting the harbour. There are a few hotels and even fewer restaurants. Everyone stares at you as you walk past. Flores doesn't get that many ...
Please see the Pics & just for the pin!!!!
This is a top pick! Day 250 ; The photos from yesterday are on ...
CAUTION...MAY CAUSE EXTREME JEALOUSY.......
This is a top pick! Day 251 ; Day three of our crash course in getting to know flores and another early but not so early start with a 7:30 pick up from the hotel a hotel which by the way charges upwards of twenty quid for a twin room, looks like it should, has all the ...
The long SLOG! Fffffff FLORES......!!!!
This is a top pick! Day 247 ; This morning was pretty cool, whilst they slept I went to sit our in the garden and drink some coffee, play a little guitar, after not long I was joined by firstly one bloke, then the girls working there, then later another bloke, both if ...
Komodo National Park
We sailed all night, and this time the 2 of us moved our matresses up to the front of the boat, where we could enjoy the stars, fresh air and slightly less noise from the engine! We woke up to a beautiful sunrise, had banana pancakes for breakfast and ...
Komodo Part II: Sea
Seeing Komodo dragons was very cool, but for us the real wildlife action was underwater. First of all, we had the best divemasters I've ever had in 15 years of diving. It was a young couple who are trying to break into conservation work. She’s an ...
Komodo Part I: Land
... toss their cookies all around us. It has its benefits, but it’s not exactly relaxing! But the destination was worth it. Labuanbajo is not amazing, but Komodo National Park really is. We could have stayed longer with plenty to do, but since ...
Bali island
... the quieter and moderately slower paced islands. Like many islands, Bali has developed a world of its own. It not only captures what is special about Indonesia but also has a uniqueness of its own. ...
Every Day's A School Day
We arrived in Labuanbajo yesterday. Although there isn't much to set it apart from other fishing town/rural jump-off points, Semporna for example, the place has instantly charmed the pants off Steve and I both. We came here for two reasons: Diving and ...
The boat didn't sink!!!
we are alive! And I'm not gonna lie....I was a bit worried at times. Soooo....our adventure to Komodo island (and eventually Flores) started off alright. Our hired driver got us to some random town in the middle of Lombok to meet the bus, and waited ...
Mini ile, maxi paradis
Apres ces quelques jours charges en emotion, on decide d'aller profiter de l air un peu frais des iles de Komodo avant de prendre l avion pour Bali. Djalma (do Brazil) et la tres british Sara nous accompagnent sur Seraya island, une petite ile a a ...
Here Be Dragons: Part 1
Rinca was the epitome of everything you'd hope a dragon habitat to be. The lush green hills (or were they mountains? Im not sure...) were pocketed with dense jungle that was home to all sorts of monkeys and birds making strange little noises, and while ...
Here Be Dragons: Part 2
We've had an amazing few days with so many highlights that we were both so disappointed when our little boat pulled into the harbour this evening. Today was much the same as yesterday: Dragons, eating, swimming, snorkelling, stopping at another island, ...
Another grotty port town
Onward with our travels to Labuanbajo, our final destination. We figured we would stay here for a night or two, with the primary aim being to organize transport to Lombok, and to see the Komodo dragons. We were less impressed with Labuanbajo when we ...
Komodo dragons!
... They seem to come out of nowhere and they can move pretty fast when they want to. Considering there is no proper hospital in Labuanbajo we were pretty nervous. Amazing to see though. After Rinca we continued on our three day boat trip towards ...
2 Days Diving, 2 Days on Kanawa Island
... wait to go back in a year or more and see what they have done with it! Only down side to this stop was in Labuanbajo, when someone reached through our bedroom window when were asleep and took lauras small bag. They were nice enough to leave her passport ...
Zurueck in Labuan Bajo
In Ende gings wiedermal ziemlich frueh aus den Federn. Check-in war um 06.00. Die Sicherheitskontrollen hier sind recht lustig, they don't care at all. Der Flug ueber Flores war ruhig und sehr interessant. Ist wirklich eine gebirgige Landschaft! In ...
Flores
... Preis oder sagt nach 2 Stunden dass es doch nic geht. Am gleichen Abend asen wir im gardena Restaurant aufm Berg von Labuanbajo und haben dann dort Jaque, Francoise im Restaurant getroffen (ein paerchen aus Canada), Andy aus England und halt wieder ...
Transit to Flores
Just a quick note to let you all know we made it safe and sound to Flores and the harbor town of Labuanbajo. The airport at Denpasar (Bali) was packed and hot and our flight was late, but at least it wasn't cancelled. We flew on a twin engine turbo-prop ...
Indonesian buses vs Indonesian boats
... 10 locals...ahhhh!! I've been travelling for more than a year now and never complained about moving around south east Asia, but Indonesia is a different story! ;) So...I came up with what I thought was a great idea: "let's go by boat"! The boat trip ...
Fanastic Flores and the Dodgy Leg?
Labuan Bajo is the town on the West Side of Flores Island where the island connects to Bali by air and to Komoddo and other islands via the town's port. My visit to Flores was purely for diving and for 3 very short days. There is so much more to Flores ...
Loving the live aboard!
Mo's Entry We hooked up with our friends Henneke and Thomas on our 24 hour boat trip from Lombok to Flores. Little did I know I would be punching some guy in the head during the night...more later. Thomas and Henneke speak Indonesian ...
Flores
30h passées entre bus et ferry dans des conditions douteuses m'ont permis d'arriver enfin à l’ile de Flores! Après une bonne nuit de repos bien mérité me voilà reparti sur des routes de montagne avec un bon scooteur ! Enfin il me ...
Komodo Dragon - 4-Day-Boat-Trip Lombok to Flores
On Thursday I started the 4 day boat trip from Lombok to Flores, including snorkelling and trekking at different spots. They picked me up in Mataram and we (17 tourists and 6 people of the crew) were riding to the other side of Lombok in a minibus. On ...
Roadtrip door Flores!
... heeft ons wat tijd en geld gekost, maar het avontuur in Flores kon eindelijk beginnen. Onze eerste bestemming in Flores was Labuanbajo, een havenstad vanwaaruit we een dagje tripje met de boot naar Rinca hebben gemaakt. Deze boottocht was gaf ons uitzicht ...
