Flores means "flower" in Portuguese, and deserve the colonial conquerors had baptized this eastern Indonesian island of that name. The country is infinitely beautiful, full of countless treasures of flora and fauna, and in general still completely natural. People travel here by a land before time, and it is just wonderful. Throughout the meeting a soul force before laughing and pretty faces, you travel through absolutely breathtaking scenery, marked by smoldering volcanoes, green green green jungle and endless sandy beaches. We walk through traditional villages with totem poles, diving with sharks and solidify ehrführchtig before the Komodo dragon. We gather to listen coral, Guitar sounds and the songs that are celebrated on every street corner, drinking rice wine also, chewing intoxicating beetle nuts, and in between we travel for hours long bus rides down by the prehistoric topography exclusively of curves.
Flores - fresh and wonderful.
was the highlight will undoubtedly have a place on the day of our arrival on Flores. Namely, there we rented together with Steve, our former colleagues from South Africa, a boat which carried us the absolutely enchanting island scenery - what A successful union of nature - right after Rinca on the "Komodo National Park" brought. Along the way, as our quasi-cutter was accompanied by dolphins and turtles, we were already a small taste of what we should expect there to amazing wildlife has everything. On Rinca namely the previously mentioned live Komodo dragon. It is up to three meters long meat-eating dinosaurs, which can devour whole buffalo.
with due reverence and a touch of horror so we entered the island. And it was like being in Jurassic Park, the landscape, the silence, the tension - inevitably came to the associations with the Spielberg movie Monument. Then an encounter with these monstrous reptiles: huge. It is probably the next thing on earth still remembers the dinosaurs. Mesmerized and frightened by these beasts - one week before has a guide arm out a little bit, and he is still in hospital - we follow each of their deceptively slow movements. I find it hard not to say that it was probably one of the most exciting moments of my trip so far.
As if there were not enough of the daily experiences was our trip to Labuan Bajo, the sleepy fishing village in which we live, additionally sweetened with an absolutely superb snorkeling trip.
Floral greetings
