It would be very difficult to forget my life and the experiences I had while growing up. Those experiences were such an important part of my life. Flores Islands surroundings islands are unique among the islands of Indonesia. Flores is famous for it's "The Three Coloured Lakes" in Ende and of course Labuan Bajo is known world-wide for it's Komodo Dragons. I am fortunate to have seen them. The city is Larantuka. It has catholic religious tradition are Semana Santa(Solemn Easter Holy Week Rites); to commemorate the holy week by blending Old Portuguese devotion with local tradition that's originate from the 16th century, when in they search for spices, Portuguese merchants then occupied this island and also Prosesi Jumat Agung (Good Friday procession). There are a legacy from the Portuguese years. But I want to tell you about my personal life; about some of my experiences travelling from the Northern beaches of the Eastern part of the Flores Regency. The Northern beaches are found near Konga, Nobo and Nurabelen villages. The beaches near Konga are Asam Beach and Nuba Beach. There is also an island called Konga Island. Nurabelen village has Nara Beach. The beaches Near Konga are Asam Beach and Nuba Beach. There is also an island called Konga Island. On my first day of travelling, I stood in the shore of Konga Beach to see and enjoy the sunshine riversed from the Konga Island. In the back from me, the birds chirping and the crabs go out to look the meal. Beside of me, the children shower in the spring. It's very cold and fresh. After that, I saw Asam Beach and Nuba Beach from a traditional boat. They were surrounded by mangrove swamps and the weather was very hot and humid. At Asam Beach, many women were busy with their traditional activity of collecting and drying and packaging sea salt. There was a pedestrian bridge at Nuba Beach, where people like to wish and caught a few fish myself. Next, I went to the Konga Island. It took one hour to get there. There were lost of Goats and wild Cats. The Goats ate mangrove leaves and drank sea water. We wanted to some to catch some Goats, but first we had to do a traditional ceremony. On my first day, I went diving. I didn't use the Oxygen mask and special swimsuit, just diving goggles from wood. I saw the beautiful reef and many fish living seashells. I know their names in my traditional language, but not in English. From Konga I travelled two or more hours to reach Nara beach, where I also went diving. The reefs there were also very beautiful, but there were many turtles there than in Konga. When I returned home after visiting Nara Beach, I had many wonderful memories of my travel. On my second day of travelling, I rode a motorcycle to the Southern Beaches near Watobuku and Pante Oa Village. The beaches are called Watobuku Beach and Rako beach. It took about four hours to get there. The sand at Watobuku was very white and the waves were high. I enjoyed swimming and diving there, before I moved on to Rako Beach, another hour's ride. When I arrived, I went for a drink of special coffee from Leworook. It was delicious and didn't any sugar. After my drink, I went diving again. The reefs were beautiful. I didn't go surfing because I don't have a surfboard and I have never learned the skills. My day ended with a lovely trek in the Manu Hills, at the top of which is the statue of Saint Mary. I also saw the forest chicken's. But. I didn't catch them because it's cause a disaster come to me. The forest chicken's are their ancestors. I loved the natural beauty of the Northern and Southern Beaches, because they have not been degraded by tourism.
