... 22 miles long and 9 miles across. It is one of the 17,508 islands that make up the “Republic of Indonesia”. Approaching you see steep hillsides of golden grasses sliding down into turquoise bays of clear glass waters and white sand beaches. ...
Flores - In search of some cheaper diving
... to talk to Roy, our local travel stall ownerm who guaranteed that they dived the Komodo Islands (supposedly fantastic) from his hometown in Indonesia and that it was much much cheaper from over there. We stumped up the cash for the short 1hr flight to ...
Paratiisissa
Seraya on pieni paratiisisaari jossa ei ole muuta kuin hieno hiekkaranta, koralleja, muutama bungalow ja ravintola. Kännykkäverkkoa ei ole ja sähköäkin vain neljä tuntia päivässä. Korallit ovat hienoja ja lyhyen uintimatkan päässä rannasta ...
Llegada a Flores
Después de desayunar en la terraza de un hotel venido a menos en Kupang, al borde del mar, recuerdo de tiempos pasados, volamos a Ende. Aquí le alquilamos una moto a la salida del aeropuerto a un chaval que pasaba po allí y ...
Butterflies and eagles and flat surf
The surf is FLAT today – or at least as flat as it gets around here. Maybe there's a chest high wave on Sunset Lefts, the big left a half-mile out to sea. But I wasn’t desperate to surf, and figured I’d hit Marosi beach with my camera ...
De ( eerste) opkomende zon van de vakantie
Vanmorgen vroeg opgestaan voor de zonsopgang, maar ik zat aan de verkeerde kant van het eiland. Volgende keer beter ...

Hôtel à Ende Wow, quel début de journée! Après une petite ascension pour se rendre au cratère qui m'a semblé plus difficile que ça aurait dû (vivement un peu de sommeil pour que je retrouve la forme...!), nous avons attendu le lever du soleil au ...
Flowers and dragons
... Whenever I told anyone I was from Canada and was traveling across Flores, they insisted that I go to Ruteng, a small city four hours East of Labuanbajo. “Is very cold there! You like!” Well, I don't know about very cold, but ...
DIVING FINALLY
FINALLY GOT TO DO SOME DIVING AND MORE SNORKELLING THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. AND OF COURSE SINCE I USE ALOT OF AIR WHEN I DIVE I USUALLY COME UP BEFORE ANYONE ELSE AND AFTER I CAME UP EVERYONE ELSE SAW A BANDED SEA KRAIT. I HAVE 2 MORE DIVES TODAY BEFORE ...
Jess' 30th! Under the Sea!
Last weekend a bunch of us Bules ('albinos' or 'foreigners') headed down to Java's south coast (a town called Palabuhan Ratu), where we were gathering to celebrate the 30th Birthday of Miss Jessica McCleod. Knowledge of our accommodation, the famed ...
Luba, Bena y Waepana
Mañana de paseo por los pueblos ngada, donde la gente vive en chozas, sacrifica cerdos y búfalos a sus ancestros (dependiendo de la petición que se haga, claro, si les ofreces un pollo no es lo mismo) y tejen sus propias telas. Por la ...
Good Times Roll
We knew the journey to Labuanbajo (re-named by us as Badger – it's easier to say) in Flores was going to be a tough one. We were told the journey would take 26 hours; our own calculations put it at more like 30 hours. The journey went ...
Morning Colours & A Songstress
I am feeling more energized now as I land in Ende, a town in the Indonesian island of Flores. The airport is small, only one other plane on the tarmac and a terminal building no bigger than your average fast food joint. Yamin is the driver I hired to ...
Blue Beach
An hour down the road from my night in the town of Bajawa we came to the Penggajawa Beach famous for the blue and even green stones - the beach is littered with stones of different colours but the light blue ones are the main draw for being a ...

I'm living in a hut now!
Just a quick first impression of Marthen's homestay and Tarimbang. It has a very homey feel to it. Marthen picked me up at Waikabubak at 8 and we arrived shortly after 4. It’s been a long day. Marthen is a great host, and this is certainly his ...
West sumba, one of the highlights
I stayed one month at the kaka family's house in the centre of waikabubak. A small and laidback place. I enjoyed the motor bike trips to all the remote ...
Cruisy day, stuck in Labuan Bajo
We had great plans to go to Ruteng for a day or two but its 4 or 5 hours away, cost heaps to get there and not a great deal to see so we scrapped that idea. We are now committed to spending the next few days in Labuan Bajo to catch our flight on ...
Day 3
Arrived at Komodo Island in the morning. Went on a 1 hour trek, but only saw the Komodo Dragons at the Ranger station. One crawled under the restaurant, so I got some really good photos from above. We went snorkelling at Red Beach. Spent 2 hours in ...
Day 2
Went swimming in a volcanic salt lake on Satonda Island. Went back to the beach, and went snorkelling. Went to Kilo beach on Sumabawa, and walked along the coast. Saw some wild horses on the beach. ...
Comodo dragons and Paradise!
... a bit and was worried about the money situ but now on top of the world again, it was worth every penny! Will just have to work a bit harder in Oz! Definitely will be returning to Indonesia in the future. THIS is my favourite place so far now. ...
