I've managed to find the only working internet connection on the island of Flores in eastern Indonesia. Its via cell phone so please excuse an only brief update.
From Sumatra I flew via Jakarta to Bali. After one night there I got a bus and ferry across to Lombok island where I joined a boat bound for Flores. The sailing trip was awesome, despite my having to sleep on the deck. We got to stop for some great snorkelling along the way and the sunrises and sunsets over the islands were spectacular. We also had to chance to stop off at the famed island of Komodo to see the dragons - they are huge!
Over the last 2 days I've also been diving around the Komodo islands. The currents are immense so it makes for exhilarating stuff - and I've seen my first ever Manta Rays and Mandarin fish. I also got to have a stop on Rinca islands yesterday to see its dragons too.
This morning I head out to a remote little island for 3 days R&R, then I plan to come back to Flores for 3 days more diving before flying back to Bali to meet up with Wendy.
