The start of Sailing Tour, Kanawa Island ~ Gili Lawa Darat > Day 02 > Labuan Bajo 22 April - 26 April 2018

Wake up in the morning, I walk around the back of our hotel. It's like a port.



Then we go eat our breakfast.The weather is really good.


At 09:00, after check-out, we go to Labuan Bajo Port to ride check-in to our phinisi boat. Our guide has already waiting for us in the port.


We have to ride small boat to go to the phinisi boat. Our Phinisi Boat called "Budi Utama 2"
The phinisi boat looks very small from the port, but after we go near, it's big. It has 8 rooms with private bath room for 2 person each, 1 room in the upper deck; 2 room in the middle deck and 5 room in the lower deck.

After small briefing, our first destination is Kanawa Island. We will snorkeling in there. While sailing, we enjoy the scene. The boat sail calmly, so we do not feel sick.



About an hour later, we arrive at Kanawa Island. We used small boat to go to the beach. The water is very clear, we even can see what's inside it.






Some of the elder try snorkeling but they have difficulty. Because it's their first time.

After about an hout, we go back to our Phinisi Boat and shower. Then the boat crew chef, serve our lunch. It's delicious, even 5 stars hotel is nothing compare to this.


While eating, we go to our next destination, Gili Lawa Darat Island. We arrive early, so we decided to snorkeling first. But the water around here is murky, and there's a lot of garbage. We only snorkel for 15 minutes then go back to our Phinisi boat to get ready for Trekking.

At 16:00, we use small boat to go to the island. Then start our trekking. We hope we could get to the peak before sunset.

sunset





We go down after sunset and it's dark. Fortunately, we bring our smartphone with us.
The way to go down is really steep. I almost fall because of it.

Finally, we go back to our Phinisi Boat. Then we clean our selves, then ready for dinner. First time dinner at the boat, it's interesting. Only with boat lighting, and under the stars.

Then we go enjoy our night.

The restaurant is too crowded. We wait for about 1 hours for the cooking. And the taste is just so-so. Maybe because it's too crowded, and they don't have any seat anymore. But they keep accepting the order.

After dinner, we walk around the hotel, and buy some beverages or things to bring on boat. Then Me and Lenny go to local cafe called La Cucina. The place is full of international tourists.
