Relax

We spent our last days in New Caledonia with Fabien and Keisha and used their home as a base for our day trips to "Parc de la Rivière Bleu" in southern Grande Terre and to spend some time in Nouméa itself.

After a quick stopover in Nouméa we took another flight to Lifou, one of the Loyalty Islands north-east of Grande Terre. We had high expectations and were rewarded with another piece of peaceful paradise and diverse activities. Go ahead, see for yourself.

From Nouméa we flew over to Île des Pins (Pine Island) and even though we had quite some expectations, what this tiny paradise island kept ready for us was literally blowing our minds. We have never seen such a beautiful diversity of blue/turquoise colours and perfect white sandy beaches!!!

After our incredible diving experience in Komodo we headed to Lombok, Bali's quiet neighbour, looking for sun, beach and relaxation. As the south coast of the island is a little surfer's paradise Alex tried to catch some waves as well...

Early on the 25th we took a flight via Denpasar to Flores Island to spend roughly a week diving the impressive waters of the Komodo National Park and see the famous and highly venomous Komodo dragons on shore. The activities there were a bit above our budget, but we can already tell you: it was worth EVERY SINGLE cent!

What else do you need in life than a cozy bungalow with riverviews, a hammock and a good book to switch off an relax a bit?  We went to Si Phan Don (literally 4000 islands) to find exactly this...
