KOMODO DRAGONS!!

Today we went and met the captain of our boat at 5:45am to go on our boat trip for 2 days. We were so excited about seeing the Komodo dragons we couldn’t wait! Our first stop was to Rinca Island, which is the first of 2 islands to see the dragons. We were the first ones to...

Excited about going to see Komodos tomorrow!

Today we spent a few hours walking around Labuan Bajo finding the best company to book our Komodo trip with. We eventually found a nice woman to book through who was flexible so we managed to make our own tour hopefully avoiding many of the other tourists who will be going to Komodo...

Horrible bus journey... but with arrack

This morning we woke up at 5:40am and caught the bus we had booked to go to Labuan Bajo. Things didn’t start off great as the bus was over ½ an hour late, which annoyed us as we had gotten up so early! Once on the bus, 5km down the road the bus parked up and we sat and waited for almost 2...

Cultural villages...

Today we got up and caught the bus at 6:30am to go from Rihon to Bajawa. The journey was only 4 hours long but it is supposed to be the worst road to travel on in Flores so wasn’t great but luckily, it wasn’t that long! We arrived in Bajawa at about 11am, found accommodation, and then hired...

Snorkelling in Riung...

We got up at 7am to have breakfast, before walking to the harbour to go on our snorkelling trip, stopping off at 3 places along the way to pick up snorkelling gear that we had reserved with different people. Unfortunately, the other 4 travellers we were going with took all the best...

Impossible Riung...

It felt like today we were just banging our heads up against a wall. Trying to book or get anything sorted here in Riung feels like it’s impossible! We wanted to go on a snorkelling trip for tomorrow but it was so difficult to organise! We met 4 other travellers yesterday who also wanted to...

Helpful local information

Well we were really achy this morning. It was such a struggle to get up and out of bed, but we had no choice as we still had to find out times for the bus to Riung as we couldn’t face getting up for the 6am bus. The locals all told us different times:- ‘There is only 1 bus and it is at 6am’...

Kelimutu Volcano

Today we woke up at 4am and quickly got ready to meet Isa and Rod outside to get in our bemo (minibus) to take us to Kelimutu volcano. It was about an hour’s drive listening to loud old pop music from the 90’s. Bit too much for first thing in the morning! Once there we had to climb the...

Waterfalls and Hot Springs

Today we woke up, packed, and walked to the end of the road to catch the bus to Moni. It was a small mini bus, so a little cramped but it was nice to take local transport. When we arrived in Moni we walked around for a while before finding some cheap...

Enjoying the lovely local village 25km out of Maumere

Today was a great do-nothing-day but enjoy the peaceful and practically empty beach and sea, and going for a walk around the village for a couple of hours. First we met a local diver who had caught an octopus and some other delights. After this we trekked through some swamp...
