Komodo

We left Labuan Bajo twice. The first time Ellida's engine stopped and we towed them to a nearby island where we had a snorkel. Their engine working again, we returned to LB until the following morning when we set off for Komodo. We had about four nights on the north of Komodo where the snorkelling was excellent. We drifted and swam with the dinghies sometimes covering over a mile (no wetsuits required now!) and the sights were as good as any we have seen so far in the world. There were no big fish such as reef sharks or Emperor Fish so Fakarava Pass still has the edge. It was lovely to be in clear waters away from the rubbish which is so often present near habitation in Indonesia. The photo here is of the poisonous LION FISH.
