Indonesia is full of so many islands with their own diversity and culture that it is so difficult to see everything, which leads me to believe I will be back there again, and again, and again.

Part of the trip I went on in Christmas of 2012 was to Komodo Island to see the famed Komodo Dragon, which can kill humans in just a few hours as well as move at very high speeds.

I met my sister Valerie down there and we decided to take a small wooden engine boat that we slept and ate on.  The bunks were very small so we decided to sleep out on the boat deck around where we ate our dinner.  Unfortunately our luggage did not make it to the island so we were in our clothes we were wearing the whole three days.

First we went to a small island where the dragons live away from people but have been known to attack.  You can see the houses are on stilts to keep the dragons out and also for flooding:

We watched the bats that night coming out of the Mangrove then went to bed on our nice little boat deck:

Next day we were off to the two islands that had dragons, however we had to be careful not to get to close to them as they move fast, but they just ignored us and went along their way:

We then finished off our delightful little cruise by going to another village that had been hit by damage in the previous years and saw exactly what life was like on these villages:
