Last days in Bajo

Since I was feeling still congested and coughing a lot, I decided to cancel the dive. It was painful but I was still too sick so it’s better this way. On Friday I went instead to this beach called Wae cicu with Lydie and we stayed there for the sunset with live music. Then we went again to the famous Club Paradise where we met with her old friend and previous flatmate Luis 50 y.o., indo tour guide. At the end other locals friends of her joined, Rian which speaks super fluent french and his friend Yoseph who speaks fluent italian. That was so funny to meet all these locals tour guides and drink the “jungle juice”, super popular drink make with this liqueur Arak diluted in water and lime. It’s very strong and indonesian get pretty wasted with it. We stay until 4 am with the guys talking. Such beautiful people, so kind and generous.
On Saturday, my last day, since we were a bit tired from the night before, we went to Wae Molas, a resort were I could have massage and listen to some good music from a local dj. Lydie brought me to Pantai Pede to see my last Sunset in Bajo and god the sunset was sooo long. After, we went for dinner together and we said goodbye :( She was my guide all these days and we spent almost everyday together this week. I will miss her so much but I know we can meet again in France and why not back in Flores. People of Flores island are amazing, so welcoming, so kind, I felt treated like a local, like I was part of their family. This week I wasn’t a tourist anymore, I was part of the people of this island. I need to come back for sure!Read more
