Flores, Labuan Bajo

Flew into Flores and the little fishing village of Labuan Bajo from Bali this morning. It was a smooth journey, my transport from the guesthouse in Ubud showed up before time (like that) and the ticket that I had bought was an actual ticket, the plane was an jet an not a propeller plane, the weather and the view over the islands was good.
The Golo Hilltop hotel that I booked mounts ago is good, and the view from it is amazing. It have gotten a swimming pool since I booked it, which as just great, will most likely be a lifesaver many days. The town it self is not much to look at, and that was not much of an surprise, but it is not the town I am here for, it is what lays below the surface of the sea, and that I suppose to be fantastic, will get a look tomorrow. Wanted to go out with Reefseekers, but since I was the only one that wanted to sign up for tomorrow I went next door to Komodo divers, which is suppose to be a good company as well. Looking forward to get down below again. I do not have much plans here, expect the dives and the Komodo Dragons, but will check out if there is any tour that I can join somewhere as well. The room is cheap, so I can leave it empty for a couple of nights, and it is paid for anyway.
Got me a motorbike to use down and up from the town, since it is bloody hot and it is a km to walk, which is way to long. Only 50 000 rupi a day for it, and that is a good price, cheaper than the bus at home.
In Malaria land, so are on Malerone for the rest of my stay here, and for 5 days after I am out.
This stay will most likely be all about diving....
