    May 30 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Wow I slept solid and woke at 6am. Breakfast is 6:30-07:00 and then we’re going to Rinca island to see the Komodo dragons
    Had toast and some spicy omelette for breakfast. 2 cups of coffee to ensure I was fully awake
    We got in the small boat to Rinca island to see the Komodo dragons. We saw lots and had a million photos taken so lots of waiting around. Saw some monkeys in the tree that reminded me of the song I sing with the kids lol
    I thought the trip around the island would be longer, as did the other people. It did seem quite short and fast almost like the tour guide was bored and just wanted us to walk catch up with him spp the time, so we couldn’t see as much as we would like. But it was lovely to see the dragons and get some good photos.
    Back on the boat we had an hour to the next part of snorkelling so I chilled in my room then sunbathed on top deck. Internet came back on briefly so I caught up with messages.
    Snorkelling and seeing mantra was fun. So glad I brought my own mask. No photos just excited to see so many gigantic mantra. Back on board for lunch.
    All people on board apart from 1 French and 1 Netherlands students. The rest are Indonesian. Apparently this is a popular trip for them.all from Jakarta the same as the 2 students.
    After lunch we sailed off to another place to do more snorkelling I chose to stay on the boat as feeling tired and lazy.
    I thought we was going to lots of other islands as per the itinerary but nope. When they came back we sat around for ages and then got back in the small boat and went to Sebayur island. Again they took 100’s of photos and videos using cameras and drones. We sat and watched the sunset which was lovely. Back on the boat we had dinner. Finally got Internet again and then u went bed.
