Bajawa over Moni to Maumere

After visiting the Komodo National Park I went across Flores from Labuan Bajo to Maumere over Ruteng, Bajawa and Moni. These photos are from the second part of this trip from Bajawa to Maumere over Moni

October 5th, 2014

I went for a walk in some rice fields close to Bajawa

With quite a few tourists coming to Bena, many of the villagers earn an extra income by selling Ikat their traditional hand woven fabrics

It's hard to see, but the photo is taken almost straight down and there is a big drop down to the lake itself

Kelimutu at dusk. It has become tradition to see the lakes at sunrise so I had the scenery completely to myself at dusk.

I stayed at Lena house near Maumere and had some wonderful peaceful walks on this beach in the early mornings and evenings
