Included breakfast on the terrace of Silverin Hotel, coffee, tea & toast. Little chilly morning with a great sunrise among woods and foggy mountains. We rented a motorcycle thru our hotel, there is a rasta-tourist guide permanently around that provides all kind of services. Quite an adventure if you are the lucky one to wear his helmet.
We ride down to town to get me a raincoat. After looking for it a bit, bought it and used it ever again. I donate it later somewhere else along the trip.
Biked around town to buy the bus tickets to Labuan Bajo. Took some time to find the office, directions in Indonesia are a little vague and left to imagination. At the end we were sent to the house of the people in charge and got them, the bus will pick us up at the hotel in the morning. We went to visit Bena, which is 15km away, a very interesting traditional village of the Ngada tribe. The road over there has great views, surrounded by volcanoes. We tried after to head down to some water springs nearby but at the end the road was too much for the little scooter. We decided to go back to Bajawa before it turned dark, have dinner and take it easy.
