Even though I was awake at 5am this morning because my legs were ice cold from the air con above me, I had a fairly good night sleep! (Even though I woke up rocking a little, I think my body thinks it’s still on the boat). Ellie was up not long after me and couldn’t sleep either so we decided to chuck our kit on and go for a walk, we needed to move or legs after hardly moving for four days. It was still super quiet on the smelly island full of plastic rub...

Neither of us slept well though so both our eyes are puffy, even though we slept much better than the first night! We had our earplugs last night because we were sailing right the way through the night and the waves were supposed to be bad because of us going further away from the islands. We got woken up to Komodo National Park, the water was so so still. It looked almost like a lake. There was a fair bit of rubbish floating around the sea though which spoilt ...

I wasn’t sure how I would sleep last night as they stopped sailing at around 10pm and restated at 2am. I could hear everything and tossed and turned all night through the bobbing and swaying and tummy turning waves. My back isn’t too bad, I have stretched and the mattress is surprisingly okay to sleep on even though I had to keep rolling over side to side. I wasn’t too happy at the early morning wake up call(s) once from Ellie poking me and once from the g...

Slept awesome last night, finally! Beds were like the premier inn hotels where you just sink into the pillows. Although Ellie did wake me up at 11.30pm shouting at me “have you put an alarm on!” She woke up in a panic I think haha. She did tell me this morning that she did it again about 1am waking up in a panic that she had missed the pick up for the trip. It wasn’t until 9am that they were supposed to pick us up. When we got pretty much just around the...

Breakfast at Mana this morning, I had smashed avocado with mango and some other fruits in it on sough-dough bread and poached eggs (Mmmm, dribble!) and Ellie had something that sounded Mexican but had corn chips, avocado, black beans and some other delicious ingredients too. Could have sat there all day looking out over the cliff onto the sea whilst the surfers went out, it was so peaceful! But, onwards we go to the next place, we were going to Mataram in Lombo...
