The Komodo National Park alone is worth the long trip to Indonesia from the states. I have been so busy having fun that I’ve haven’t made much time for the blog, sorry. But I have posted my top underwater photos on the Kim’s Travel Site Facebook page. So far I have uploaded 4 albums under the title Komodo.
Last week when I first jumped into the water I was so overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to look because there were so many fish and corals of all colors and sizes. Moray Eels, Nudiebranches, Octopuses, Trigger Fish, Sweat Lips, File Fish, Parrot Fish, Rays, Boxer Crabs and so many others that I still can’t name. I’ve never seen fish so huge. I’ve done about 8 dives and snorkeled 5 times and I can’t get enough.
I saw my first sea snake today but about my 20th turtle. Turtles are almost a guarantee here. One turtle was almost as big as I am — 5 feet!
I felt obliged to go see the dragons, I am in Komodo after all, so we went to see them today. Thankfully we spotted a few, so tomorrow, my last day on the island…..opps I wrote that line before we decided to extend our stay at Komodo Resort. Next post from the same place but will be about the Manta Rays we saw!
