My first stop on my boat trip was to visit a viewpoint overlooking the island city of Flores. I knew it would be up hill, but I didn’t know how far uphill. I was also shocked by the heat of the day as it was only about 9am. It was at this point that carrying my camera backpack was not going to work in this climate. My back was on fire.

After a hard slog up to the mirador, I concluded there wasn’t a lot to see, except for this view looking back at my temporary home. The hills in the background were all covered in dense jungle.

  1. An island at the end of a causeway. Just like the “lake peoples” found in other parts of the world, even Somerset. My guess is the causeway may originally be man-made.How ancient must this be?

  2. Best part is you can see the buildings from the background of your “Launch Pilot” photo in this shot! Cool!
