From here we'd make our way back towards Bali by sea and somehow visit the islands of the Komodo Dragon. From Maumere we would go to the village of Moni and visit Kelimutu volcano (this was the original hook that interested us - a volcano with 3 crater lakes of varying colours at its summit.) From Moni we would continue heading west until we got to the port town of Labuan Bajo in the far west of the island. We made a plan to fly from Bali to the town of Maumere on the far eastern side of the island of Flores. Then an idea starts to take shape: what if I was to go to Flores? What is there to do there? How would I get there? How long would I need there?Īnd as the answers to these questions come together you're left with an easy decision to make: we're going to Flores! Then I hear about some particular sight or activity that draws people in. Then at some point, somehow, I started to learn of this place called Flores. I'd never heard of Flores before setting off on our travels, much less had I any intention of going there. We had originally intended to travel in Indonesia for 2 weeks. Sometimes the decision to visit a specific place comes together slowly and incrementally.įlores in Indonesia is a good example of this. When my girlfriend and I travelled we had a pretty solid idea of all the countries we intended to travel in but we didn't know exactly where we would go when we got there. When travelling for a long period of time, such as a year, it's almost impossible to plan in detail all of the places that you intend to visit.
