We got up and had the bread roll and coffee offered at the hotel as breakfast included then got the boat at 8:30am. It was two hours to Rinca Island where we took a guide and saw our first Komodo Dragons all lying around the camp kitchen they are big and bulky up to 2mts long.
We did a walk for about an hour with the guide which was the 2hour walk but Indonesians or even in general Asians are not fond of walking so all walking times are well in excess of what we do in a casual stroll. On the walk we saw monkeys, some dragon nests, megapods (bird), a nice view down over the island and a buffalo.
We then motored to a sheltered bay where we did our first Komodo nat.pk. snorkel the water was clear but a little colder than expected. We saw a stingray and lots of pretty fish including some nice big blue luminous ones. We then motored to Pink beach on Komodo island, this spot is an absolute national treasure so much coral and so many fish we were darting about like mad things checking out all the cool stuff to see. This was a highlight of our whole Asia trip!
We then motored to a bay for the night with plenty of other boats, had dinner and chatted the evening away with the captain watching the large fruit bats fly overhead.
