It was hard to leave Kanawa. The boat came to pick us up at the pier where we were swimming with a school of fish. There are two britt couples with us, Claire & Uri and Paul & X. A crew of four and us on a four day boat trip to Lombok. First stop was Pink Beach. It is one of the most amazing places to snorkel. At one point Paula and I were taken by surprise by a huge manta sliding straight to us, it scared the shit out of us!
We had a stop at Rinca Island and a day after on Komodo Island to trek a little and watch the dragons. We got a dip in a salty lake and a very refreshing shower in some waterfalls. Fresh water is something you can miss when you are out at sea.
Along the trip to Lombok we could see dolphins, (something Paula dreamt about just before spotting them), lots of flying fish jumping a hundred meters or more and sunrises you cannot forget.
The night before arriving to Lombok we did a stop somewhere in Nusa Tenggara to watch the flying fox, a huge bat that takes off at dusk in large flocks. Don't know what to say about it, somehow impressive, somehow scary.
