Kelimutu, Flores, Indonesia
Looking down over the small village of Moni, Kelimutu truly is a sight to behold. The incredible 3 lakes coloured green, chocolate and black are a natural phenomenon. Making a trip here travelling by boat and bus from Bali is certainly not easy. We spent 2 days of solid travel to get there. After negotiating with the tauts getting lied to about a ferry not running, the bus setting on fire, waiting an entire day being stared at in a grotty port and sleeping on a concrete floor of a ferry we finally made it, and it was breathtaking…

francine, sorry for not reply sooner, your comment slip passed me! I dont think you need anything special for Indonesia, just the usual things, its generally hot but if you going up to kelimutu, its an early start and its quite cold so you'll need some warm clothes too.

I remember being told about the meaning behind the colours but unfortunately my memory fails me now.

i am planning to go to Flores around the 31st of July (as in the end of this week)
but am traveling solo, and would love to meet a companion, or two, three etc…
anyone reading this happen to be going that way?
I work in Yogya and only have 10 days for vaycay, but am planning on flying into either Maumere or Labuan Bajo, or the reverse.
