I went to flores last month. I went there to visit
Australian Volunteer English teachers in
Maumere, Ende and Bajawa. As a result, I also
enjoyed the beauty of the island.
I started my first day in Maumere with Jo Keating.
After visiting several schools in the city, we took
an amazing journey over the mountains to the
south coast. We visited a new junior high school
there. Then, I traveled to Ende to meet Sharon
Kidman. Ende has a great market with a lovely
selection of traditional woven ikat cloth, and great
seafood. My next trip was to Detusoko, It is a
mountain village. I went there with Ginny
Edwards. Detusoko is not far from Mount
Kelimutu. We woke up at 4 am to see the three
different coloured lakes at dawn. It was truly
