Catatan Perjalanan : Labuan Bajo (April 2015)

Hi dari tengah laut yang dikelilingi gugusan pulau di area komodo, Flores, Indonesia. Saya sedang menulis cerita di 2015 tanpa lupa bersyukur. Ekspedisi ke Flores merupakan resolusi 2013, yang bisa terealisasi di April 2015. Resolusi yang berisi ton of to do lists such as visit new province in Indonesia, see the Komodo in their habitat and snorkeling around. Bunch of thanks to @kngtian. My BFF turn to mother-fairy who grant my resolutions. I hope his life so beautiful like the scenery in Komodo.


He helped me to write a story

Who am I? An abnormal girl who love to buy the plane ticket with the clear things to enjoy but unclear preparation. When my person is available in Labuan Bajo (LBJ), why did I not visit him? Though, I really am an annoying person with the dramas. SORRY. When I arrived at Komodo International Airport, I was captivated by the view from DPS-LBJ. The hills, the bays, the Savannah, the ocean, the greens, the blues, the colors, and the scenery. God is really GENIUS as a creator. 



Alam LBJ mengagumkan? Benar, tapi tidak dengan kota LBJ. 30 menit berada di Labuan Bajo feels like it will be great if I continue to live on the boat and went directly to the islands. Seperti kota kecil di Indonesia, I just need an hour to enjoy the downtown, had a sunset in the port and seeing how Bajo's live. Agak membosankan, karena LBJ tidak menantang, even you can find a lot of international restaurants that really entertaining. (I will talk about the restaurants that I visited)


The sun goes down
The highlight of my journey have enjoyed the sunset from the Bukit Bintang (free), enjoy another sunset from Bintang Flores Hotel (Rp. 50.000) and the 2D1N live onboard (Rp. 700.000). Once again, I would say a ton of thanks to @kngtian, don't ask why. Beside him, thanks to Maxi who is agent give me 700k for 2d1n. I didn't bargain cause the market price is 850k. The silent captain and his colleague who serve us very well, could not ask for more. The rangers all over Rinca and Komodo island the three little kids from the island who sell the Komodo statue in somewhere of nowhere, you share the worth story to tell.  I'm really thankful to know these people. Because of them, I can see how creative and lovely the God. A word. PERFECT.

The first day of liveonboard : 
The first stop was Rinca Island, where I need to pay the fee entrance around Rp. 50.000 and the tips for Ranger Rp. 30.000
You can easily find the Komodos in Ranger Station and did the hiking to enjoy the scenery that looks like a painting.
The second stop was Komodo Island, where I need to pay (again) around Rp. 25.000, which is not supposed to be paid cause I already paid in Rinca Island.
The third stop was Kalong Island, where we see the flying fox and have a good night in somewhere of nowhere.

The second day of liveonboard :
The first stop was Pink Beach
The second stop was Manta Point, which is we can not see the Manta when we did the snorkeling, but we can see them from the boat.
The third stop was Kanawa Island

If I still have time and money, I want to extend my liveonboard. There's a lot of islands to visit in Komodo National Park. Seriously! Love your Indonesia, Indonesian
