Indonesia- going back to Bali
The journey from Flores to Bali takes an eternity if you chose not to fly. You have to take a ferry from Labuan Bajo to Sape (Sumbawa), there you'll jump on a van to Bima from where you take a nightbus to West coast of Sumbawa. There you'll get on another ferry to Lombok and then you take a last bus to Mataram. In the end you just have one more ferry to catch to get to Bali. All in all it takes about 34 hours over land and sea instead of a 50 minutes journey by plane. You can observe how the climate changes from very dry to flowerishing green.
Indonesia- From Sengiggi to Flores
The best way to explore this part of Indonesia is by boat... So even if there had been some accidents recently, we went to a 4 days boat ride from Lombok to Labuanbajo/ Flores. Our friend Isa had joined us at that point and altogether we were a bit nervous as the waves grew bigger and bigger during the night. But as usual, all ended well and we had a wonderful time on the boat. Food was great, the landscapes and sunsets as well and the snorkelling was amazing... not to mention the beaches...
On our way we also had the chance to visit Komodo National Park and Rinca Island, home of the famous and frightening Komodo Dragon...
