Indonesia – The incredible boat trip!

06 Nov 2011 05:04 UTC By

We’re back from a boat trip of 5 days and 4 nights on board of a wooden boat to the islands of Eastern Indonesia in the company of some thirty other adventurers of different nationalities. A cruise in a roots way, we spent all night on mattresses, but what an adventure, we absolutely loved it! Every day we stopped a few hours in beautiful beaches on small and deserted islands where we could snorkel. We had beautiful sunsets every night and also local cuisine at every meal, we swam in a volcanic lake where there are small fish that come to you to massage your feet, we visited the Komodo island and Rinca island where lives the famous Komodo dragons, giant lizards of 3 meter long, dangerous enough that if they bite you with them prehistoric bacteria on their teeth, you die in less than 6 hours. Also we saw deer, wild boar and wild Buffallo. We visited a waterfall where we could jump to the water with a rope, we had fun just like Tarzan and cheeta would. Regularly we had the visit of dolphins playing with the boat, a great moment every time. Alexis played guitar every evening in the company of percussionists which seemed to be enjoyed by the crew. Misadventures aside, Carol was bitten all over her body by a bed-bug and had a little seasick, Alexis has his hand cut by the corals, they are toxic and it still stings until this day … We came back very tired but filled with unforgettable moments, stunning landscapes and new friends. We just loved the adventure! We are now enjoying our last days in Indonesia before flying to Thailand.

      Fizemos com uma empresa chamada Perama, que é super famosa na Indonésia e recomendada pelo Lonely Planet, por ser mais segura. Foi um pouquinho caro pro nosso padrão de viagem, mas valeu a pena. Vc encontra escritórios da Perama em todas as principais cidades de Bali e Lombok. O tour sai de Senggigi e Mataram (Lombok) mas se vc estiver em qualquer outro lugar eles arrajam o transporte até o ponto de partida.
      No link abaixo vc encontra o tour que a gente fez: Hunting Komodo by Camera 4 noites e 5 dias.

      Espero que isso ajude.

      Obrigada Thaisa. Até que eu já pensei sim… Mas me dei conta que escrever não é muito o meu forte. Estou tentando pensar em outras idéias…
