This is my second time setting foot on the island of Flores. And I fell in love with this place all over again : )
This time, the destination is Riung, at the north side of bajawa. This time, there are 8 of us. We flew from kupang to reach bajawa and continue by car to reach Riung.

  
disambut oleh pelangi di bandar udara el tari, kupang : )

We arrived at  Riung in the afternoon. After taking picture at the hill, we went to the pier, and waited for the sun to set and the moon to rise. Beautiful.

The next day, we went island hopping and snorkeling. There were 4 snorkeling spots.  Hot hot hot.

After staying 2 nights at pondok svd, we returned to bajawa. Unlike riung, bajawa is a town located on the highlands with its cool weather. I like this small town. We made 3 stops there: bena village, malanage hotspring and manu lalu panorama.

Our hotel in bajawa is called happy happy hotel. We love this place. Very clean and very homy. This place is run by a dutch couple.

We planned to stay in bajawa for one night only and spend the new year’s eve in kupang. But we couldnt make it to kupang the next day because our flight got cancelled due to bad weather. The plane already flew-in from kupang to bajawa, but cannot land at bajawa because of the weather. Got a little bit panicky for a second coz we have a plane to jakarta to catch.

Anyway, we ended up spending one more night a happy happy hotel (not that we’re complaining.. we love this place!). and there were many fireworks that night :D

akhirnya merpati itu datang jugaaa :D


I love flores! Definitely will come to flores again in the future.
I love arranging trips! Gives me a different kind of satisfaction.
I love Indonesia! Sooo beautiful.
I love traveling! Well isnt that obvious..   :D
