Here be dragons
Whilst we were in Sri Lanka we started to plan some empty time in our itinerary towards the end of the trip. We wanted something big towards the end, and maybe having both watched too much David Attenborough we hit upon the idea of going in search of ...
Labuanbajo and the Island of Flores
... Rinca Island. Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world and are only native to Komodo Island and Rinca island in Indonesia. It isn’t cheap to see them unfortunately. Besides the cost of the boat trip out here to see them ...
Saudara
On a lighter, brighter note after yesterday's rant our faith in human kindness has been restored by all the wonderful friends we've made over the last week in Labuanbajo. The bar next door to our hotel does a mean iced coffee, has a great view of the ...

After getting up early for sunrise to see the Kelimutu Lakes near Moni, we continued our journey towards Bajawa, another town in the hills. Bajawa is known for the many traditional villages in the area. This leg of the journey was our longest one – ...

The road to Ruteng
The drive to Bajawa was wonderful. First we passed over cloud touching mountains stopping at a local fruit and veg market. After that we wound through fantastic countryside, huge valleys steeped with rice paddies and curious locals looking at us through ...
Hot springs eternal
Before I tell you about Bajawa, I'll just say a little bit about the Trans-Flores Highway, which runs the length of Flores. A little comparison might help: the 'Highway' is in fact smaller and more winding than most of the small winding roads that make ...
Staying in the nun house
Leaving Bajawa, we continued on for another 5 hour drive to Ruteng. Along the way we stopped at a local arak (rice wine) distillery which is made from palm sugar and takes several days to make. They have 4 grades, ranging from 20% - 50% alcohol. ...
Bali Hai

The Dragons of Komodo

Kelimutu National Park

Stuck in Lembar
So after meeting up with Servane and Domitille again, we headed to Sanur to get a boat to Nusa Lembongan - a place famed for diving with Manta rays, Sun fish and for getting wiped out on lethal shallow coral while surfing some monster waves. As before we ...
Missing ferry to Timor.
6 at the morning I could hear some voices in the port. I packed quickly, uneasy that there are still no bigger ships in the port. I asked people loading vegetables on small boat about ferry and they said smiling “ This is Maumbawa, small goods ...
Living on a deserted island and Komodo dragons
Stranded on a deserted island One night in the port town of Labuanbajo was more than enough. Now that we knew we would need to fill in 4 days before our flight back to Bali, we figured we would base ourselves on a small island, Kanawa Island, about 45 ...
Anak Krakatau
Sumatra - Anuk Krakatau The small boat armed with two large outboard motors was lurching about as we tried to board from the beach. Myself and Tweeks were almost immediately soaked to the skin as a wave overpowered the prow and sprayed us good ...
Flores
Of course there was no ferry to Timor from here. Why I wasn't surprised? At the morning completely different person in ticket office said that It's not from here, it's from another island. I asked where is the one, which is being loaded now going to? He ...
Bajawa
Quelques heures de bus et me voilà arrivé à Bajawa. Sur la route j'ai eu droit à un magnifique coucher de soleil sur les montagnes et le superbe volcan Inarie ! Donc le lendemain, premier réflexe un scoot pour changer ! Après ...

Manta! Manta!
Labuna Bajo is a really small village, compared to all the other cities I saw in Indonesia. It's more or less just a small street along the coast with guest-houses, diving-shops, restaurants, bars and internt-cafe's on both sides. And in between the small ...
Wiedermal eine Busreise
Habe mich entschieden von Labuan Bajo dann Richtung Gunung Kelimutu weiterzureisen und deshalb ein Busticket organisiert um nach Bajawa und dann nach Moni zu gelangen. Am Morgen um 7.30 gings los auf den Transflores-"Highway"... So eine Strasse wie auf ...
hot again
We have a few days here in Labuan bajo, before to head on a cruise back to Lombok. Not much to do here, the town is really small and not very clean, pity...because the surroundings are beautiful! I suppose we'll try to go to one of the closer islands for ...
