Flores, Komodo Dragons, Boat Trip

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The Flores trip was definitely the highlight of our Indonesian adventure.

We met up with 3 other Germans and decided to charter our own boat for 3 days of sailing around Flores.  5 million/ 830,000 Rp each, for 3 days 2 nights for everything, including food.  Ok that's $83 Canadian for those that may not be able to convert.  Super comfy with a hammock, bean bag chairs, and enough room to sleep 10, and great meals.  Our mission to see the Komodo Dragons, and see all the islands, for some snorkling.  We ended up seeing a 10-15 Manta Reys, and a Shark while we were snorkling.  I didn't realize that manta reys can get up to 8 feet in width.

We were lucky enough to see a pathway of flying fox, big orange brown bats that create a pathway in the sky, further then the eyes can see.



Larisa above overcoming her fear of the oceans deep blue.  Well really just sharks.  
 Her I am hanging out at the top of the mast of the boat, watching out for dolphins, manta rays and whales.
