Upon leaving the Gillis and having decided that we hadn't had enough of each other we chose a 4 day and night 'cruise' down to Flores via Komodo and Rinca ... The Lonely Planet gives dire warnings about going with a 'reputable company' as the seas can be treacherous but the agent was a very personable guy and talked about the sea being as calm as a pond and assured us the boat was stocked with life jackets, radios and ... err GPS .. When we arrived the boat definately looked as though it may have seen better days but the crew were funny and we had enough food (including a couple of live chickens and an ocean full of fish) and drink to see us through. When asked about the radio and err ... GPS the captain held up his mobile phone and as the boat set off it seemed to be leaning heavily to the left.
That said once the Bintangs were broken out everything seemed an awful lot better - Judith strung up her hammock and the laughter started flowing again. Left is the boat (obviously) and right are Jeff and Luke.
