Alor

20 – 22 April 2010

I exited Flores from Ende after a three hour delay due to torrential rain and strong winds which made the landing too dangerous. I transited Kupang – had intended to stay with Sam but John was still there as they had been burgled the night before and had police interviews and all sorts of other traumas so I left them alone. Like Riung I am told Alor is very beautiful but the downside of travelling in the rainy season is it does rain a lot so I did not get outside the main town. It certainly has the most amazing natural harbour and some quite passable eating places particularly at night. The owner of the losmen where I stayed was lovely and I spent most of my days and evenings talking.
