Komodo National Park Trip (Part 4)

Snowy at Gili Laba

Expecting the sunrise from one of the peak at Gili Lawa Darat, or some call it Gili Laba island.

Not to missed the sunrise we woke up early around 4:00 am. Not all of us wants to hike again. I was still not in a good condition, my fever even worse at least no more pain pumping in the head. I still have shore throat. But I decided to try. I may stop if I feel really sick. We agree to climb up by second trek route which less steep. Fauzi said it may takes time compare to the steeper one. We start exactly 4:30 am and some of us has flash light and head lamp and some not. We walked around 30 minutes and then the sun light already coming. We walk little bit faster.

Intan again had problem to walk up, for me not difficult at all. I was surprise with my condition I could continue all the way to the peak without having any breathing problem. I was just more carefully where I step. It has some hole on the way and I don't want to twist my ankle.

Yesss... we are the trekking champion

At the top I did not feel good, so I stopped and not move around to the other stone where most of the people make good pictures. I did not want, just enjoy the warm of the sun on my back bone.

Watching Komodo Island from Gili Laba

Yeaaaaah!!!

Not really lucky for the spectacular sunrise but we did the mission to climb all the Komodo summit. Yeaaahh!!!

This was on the last day of our trip. We should make another snorkling after Gili Laba, but I could not do it anymore, I really exhausted due to my cold and fever. After when we stop at Sebayur island, I was checking the snorkling site. It is a good site with a strong current which not good for beginner. The under water is mixed between soft and hard coral like at Bidadari island. More small fishes in different bright colors.

Then in the lunch time we were stop at Kanawa. I decided not to do another swim, which is a mistake. I regret later that I did not take a chance to see the under water at Kanawa. Hope to see it in another trip. That's the end of our boat trip around Komodo National Park Islands.

We land earlier than it supposed to be. We have to bring our friend Bonar for checking his twisted ankle, and it is worst than we expected, not only twisted but he has fracture in his heel. But the doctor give him a letter that he could fly back to Semarang, there is no orthopedic doctor anyway at Siloam Hospital in Labuhan Bajo. But it is nice to saw him could smile again. I was really sorry for him that he could not see most of the place.

Good to see Bonar could smile again

He was the only one which well prepared for the trekking activities, he carried with him the good trekking shoes. When the other just wearing sandals. I found it later in the internet that some trekking shoes are slippery in the stoney trek. Specially the hard Vibram sol
