Road trip in a road trip

This was an amazing trip for ten days. Taking a boat from Sengigi on Lombok to Labuanbajo on Flores Island, with multiple stops on the way. It took us three days to reach destination, with the first stop, a warm welcome on Perama Island: white sand beach, snorkeling, campfire BBQ and guitar songs. Mostly sailing during the night, sleeping on deck under the stars with great people. More stops on remote beaches for snorkeling and Komodo Island, to see the Komodo dragons, which can get over 3 meters long!!!

After arriving in Labuanbajo, a day of doing just nothing, before visiting the rest of the island. With 2 'crazy' Polish guys, Maciej and Pawel, and Maxi, girl from Germany, we decided to rent a car with driver. We have seen all the beautiful highlights of the island. Rice fields in the form of a spider web, a traditional village of the Ngada people, Blue Stone beach, Moni village, Kelimutu mountain lakes.... Staying overnight in simple home stays... A lot of driving over narrow and winding roads in 4 days, flat tire on our way back, but worth the sore bums!!

Back in Labuanbajo, back on the boat for Christmas party, and then back to Lombok. Another two days of sailing. And now: chillin' out on a tiny island just off the coast of Lombok, called Gili Trawangan....
