Today is snorkling day. All of the itinerary was visiting beach
for snorkling. Our first destination was Sabolo Island. It took about an hour
to reach it from Tilong Island, West Flores. We snorkled to see the beauty of
sea underwater. And yes, it was very magnificent. I’m sorry for having no
underwater pictures since I have no water-resistant camera.

See, I am the real black and white.
The second of the day was Seraya Kecil Island. There were Seraya
Besar and Seraya Kecil Island. Seraya Besar has population and living, but in
Seraya Kecil there were a cottage. I was not sure who owned the cottage, seems
like foreigners. Indonesian, go quick. Invest here. My tour guide, Ms. Ayu
said, there was an island bought for only IDR 8 billion by foreigners. It has
been started, once you ignore the beauty of ours, soon, we are gonna lose them.
Ours. Just pay attention and think about our future. The captain of the boat
were telling me, in 2006, he ended his business in Bali because of many
competitors and turns out to stagnation for his now business. He moved to
Labuan Bajo and started to have his business. And now, he already owned 2
boats. Don’t miss the opportunity.

Sabolo Island, with Sekar.
It’s difficult to share about this one kind of the beauty, you
should experienced it by yourself, at least one thing for sure all the vision
through media was nothing before you see them. Watch your feet not to step on
them, don’t die them. The beauty should be conserved.

Today’s third destination was Bidadari Island, an hour and a half
from Seraya Kecil Island. Just snorkled and explored another beauty of my
country. So, if I should rank the three islands for snorkling based on my own
experience are:
1. Sabolo Island. The coral and fish were super magnificent. You could conveniently resting your feet while tired swimming around without being afraid stepping on coral.
2. Bidadari Island. Not as wide as Sabolo, but Bidadari offered more complete kind of fishes and unique coral.
3. Seraya Kecil Island. Many starfishes and seagrasses would be easily found around the island. Normal till blue starfishes.

All the young on the trip!
This picture was so great.
Now, I am on my way to Kalong Island (Kalong means Bat). It
located not far from one of Rinca Island which was one of the national park.
The name Kalong or Bat came because there were many bats in this island, having
almost no shoreline because of the trees and plantation grew making a closure
on the island. The bats were in group fly leaving the island when sun set down,
and individually coming back to the island in the morning.

I had my dinner like also my lunch on the boat. The crews were
cooked us delicious meals, both Indonesian and Italian food. They should be
very independent taking care of their business since they doing very great
service on us. Nice experience after all.
