Everyone has once again gone their separate ways. We are now in Flores. Today we went on a boat ride to Rinca, home of the Komodo Dragon (Komodo Island doesn’t have the monopoly you know). We saw about 10 Komodos and they are Massive. They really do look like dinosaurs. We even saw one in her nest (interesting fact, Komodos dig several nests to fool preditors) (other interesting fact, the young hatchlings live in the trees because otherwise their mummies eat them).
Scarily, our guide told us that we won’t outrun them on short distances but not to worry because ‘he has a stick’.
We then went snorkelling and saw two massive 10’ Manta Rays. They are really impressive and move really fast but I think I got a good photo (hope). The currents are really strong here though (which is why the Mantas like the area). There were even whirlpools in the middle of the sea, it looked a bit freaky, like something off an old B movie.
All in all a good day. Made even better since we’ve found some motion sickness pills that work a treat. (Apparently, that time on Gili Air was sea sickness not a hangover).
