    Komodo 🐉🤯

    September 15, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    I saw a dragon! 😃
    So we took a tour with a (1000 hp haha yeah) speed boat around islands. We started early but soon we got to the Padar island, really famous for the spectacular view. It's around 800 stairs to get to the top. Wow! This island is beautiful! And it has a pink beach, which we visited shortly after. Before that - we saw 2 tiny manstas in the bay!! Ok ok, next to the pink beach 😃
    It's all the tiny red corals mixed with white sand that makes it look pinkish. And it was snorkeling time! This is far from scuba diving but beautiful, you see all from clownfish to parrotfish and whatnot! 🐟🐠
    After about an hour it was the time - to go - to the - Komodo island! 😃
    Komodo is huge. And immediately when walking to a beach we saw first dragon! Tiny, but a dragon haha. We met with guide and started the 2km tour. Soon we saw another one, bigger. I was so happy and couldn't believe I'm finally here seeing them in person 😃 Then you get to see even bigger one, just chilling in the sand in shade 😊 They are soooo cool!
    When doing the trip you see all - eagles, deers, wild boars, apparently also buffalos live here, crazy nature! It is a dry season but I really wonder how this place looks when all green 😊
    Soon it was time to leave for next place - a tiny sandy island in the middle of sea (imagine that). Snorkeling time again 😃We enjoyed this so much! Every coral has so many fish around 😊
    Manta point was also nearby - we tried our luck - all in flippers and masks waiting to jump into the water - sadly no luck, so on to next island for more snorkeling 🐟
    This place is really amazing, so many fish and animals, such beauty! We love this area ❤️
    Ended the day with lobster dinner, which we amateurs don't quite know how to eat, others clean this thing dry, we're too spoiled I guess 🤣
    This is last night in this paradise in Indonesia, tomorrow is our flight back to Jakarta. I'll miss this place but we'll for sure come back!
