Denpasar to Labuanbajo
Bit of a dive (the the above sea level kind) on the western tip of the, they say beautiful island of Flores. We thought about travel across the island but could face the the overland travel options so instead chose to use it as the base for boat ...
Smiling Black Teeth
Back to the twisty-turny spaghetti roads to return to Ende for a visit to the smelly fish market and food market. Packed with stalls, shoppers, vendors and the ever present motorbikes the market showed fish being de-scaled, chopped and sold. The ...
Arak!
Smoke bellowed out from a road side operation - they are making arak the local spirit of 45% alcohol. Lucky timing for me as a man was in the top of a palm tree collecting the juice from the palm fruits. He happily waved down then jumped over to the next ...

Sun rises, sun sets.

Trekking Ruteng (2)
De trekking kan niet doorgaan omdat de tropische buien die ons blijven achtervolgen de dorpen hebben afgesloten van de buitenwereld. We proberen dan maar het beste van de dag te maken. We verblijven gelukkig op één van de mooiste locaties tot ...
Spider Webs
Overnight at the Santa Maria convent, while the gardens were lovely, I can't say I felt completely at home living with the nuns. However, it was by far the best value in town, clean rooms, nice bathroom and quite quiet. It was back to driving the ...
Dragons, Diving and Policemen
Woke up on 3rd to find that some of my stuff had been stolen off our Veranda (hoodie which was only out there cos it stank - haven't even used it!, boardshorts and man bag which were both wet). A guy called Mark who lives next door also had some ...
More Komodo dragons!
We didn’t sail overnight but we did leave around 6am to get over to Rinca Island, which is another place where Komodo dragons are found. These ones are said to be slightly smaller than their cousins on Komodo Island but apparently they’re a ...
Nothing like the last minute!
... manta rays and we've always just missed them, so now's our chance!! The flights are less than reputable in Indonesia, but it's really the only way to get to Flores especially this time of year. Luckily, our flight was smooth ...
I'm a record setter and bull whisperer
I'm currently waiting for the local bus to take me to Waikabubak. I’ve checked out of the Sumba Nautil and become officially the longest tenured guest in the history of the hotel at a whopping 15 days! I love it here. I will miss it a lot. A LOT. ...

Flores
Flores... Am 25. Maerz ging also unser Flug von Denpasar (Bali) nach Maumere auf Flores. Maumere hat gute Chancen der suedoestlichste Punkt unserer Reise zu bleiben, es liegt im oestlichen Teil der vulkanischen Insel und von dort haben wir uns Richtung ...
Arriving to Camp Leakey
What a night!! I think I have slept 10 minutes. As I told, at 18:00, darkness is absolute, but near midnight, the moonlight is so powerful that awoke me: I had never seen such a briliant moon! No way to sleep, I can hear noises everywhere sorrounding our ...
Fantabulous Flores and @ventures at komodo islands
