Komodo Dragon Trip 1


An hour flight from Bali is Flores Island, 250 miles in length and first inhabited, they think, by pygmy-like hominids 12,000 years ago. It was colonized by Portuguese in the 1512 and then by the Dutch in the 17th century until 1907.



On our first day we took our boat to Angel Island for great snorkeling

in crystal-clear waters.

We finished our day by viewing one of their remarkable sunsets from the beach at our hotel.
