My Holiday in Flores
I went to Flores last month. I went there to visit Australian Volunteer English
teachers in Maumere, Ende and Bajawa. As a result, I also enjoyed the beauty
of the island.
I started my first day in Maumere with Jo Keating. After visiting several
schools in the city, we took an amazing journey over the mountains to the
south coast. We visited a new junior high school there. Then, I traveled to Ende
to meet Sharon Kidman. Ende has a great market with a lovely selection of
traditional woven ikat cloth, and great seafood.
My next trip was to Detusoko. It is a mountain village. I went there with
Ginny Edwards. Detusoko is not far from Mount Kelimutu. We woke up at 4 am
to see the three different coloured lakes at dawn. It was truly inspiring.
My final trip was to Bajawa. It is a small town high in the mountains. It was
a very cold place. Yet my trip was fun and memorable. I would like to go back
to Flores one day.
