Landed in Labuan Bajo, where I spent the night in a hostel situated in the local village. I met some young Indonesians who invited me to have dinner with them. It was fun to try local food with them.
I then set sail on a 3 day, 2 night sailing expedition around Komodo Island. It was a highlight of my travels. We snorkled and saw lots of amazing marine life and manta rays. Hiked amazing viewpoints where we watched the sunrise. We visited islands, including Pink Beach. We also, of course, found some komodo dragons! On the last sunset on the boat, we also saw thousands of bats fly over us going from one island to the other. It was really cool. The crew was so funny too. They taught us a dance from Flores that everybody knows. We also did karaoke after haha.
When I was back on land, I chilled at a nice hostel with a rooftop pool and live music.
It was such an amazing time here on Flores Island!Read more
