Flores

The first island we made landfall on after our ocean crossing, proved to be the right choice. Flores is beautiful, has only kind people and the pleasantest tiny marina.

We had a few days to relax after we settled down a bit, so we rented a car and drove around the island. Visiting lovely towns, crater lakes and taking walks on the hillsides proved the perfect antidote for ocean tiredness.

There are a lot of people doing handicrafts and we got some nice souvenirs from them that I'm sure the people who receive them will be thrilled with. Lace, paintings, crafted objects and shells make very good gifts after long travels.

We met tons of kind people, from the couple looking for the wedding party they flew in to attend to the numerous sailors getting into the marina to Paula who catered for our every need, from cars to excellent birthday cake.

Flores has a limited surface, but it goes very deep indeed.
