Absolutely, you have ever seen Labuan Bajo's photos. Is there in instagram or even in windows photos.
But i want to tell you that, the real one is much much much prettier.
I love taking a picture a lot, but there! i didn't take "that many" pictures, because by seeing it, it made me so refresh.
If you ask me, Labuan Bajo or Phuket/Phiphi Island? I can tell, ABSOLUTELY "Labuan Bajo!"

Why?
Combination of mountain, sky, beach, sea or even undersea were so amazing. Just too perfect, i confused what's the lack of that place, 'even' there's no trash like in Indonesia as usual.
Here i tell you, my impression in each places that i visited:
Day 1
Kelor Island.
To get a beautiful view from above, it has really difficult track! because the track is very steep.
But the view? so amazing! I was really really thankful with God by giving us such a beautiful place to see. It's the real 'eyes refreshment'.
The sky and sea were really clear. It successfully steal my heart.
Again! i want to tell you, if you see the view in picture, maybe it looks good, but trust me if you see it with your own eyes, it's really really beautiful!

Rinca Island.
I went to a place of Komodo lived.
Be honest, i'm afraid with Komodo, so i didn't really enjoy the sightseeing in the first time.
But i was happy, i have chance to saw rare animal, even i saw baby Komodo in that time, so lucky me! because not many people can see it.
After did sightseeing in the forest, then we go up to the hill.
Then! Nice View detected again.
We can saw the sea in front of us and many hill around.

Sunset in the boat by seeing bats.
That's my first time saw many bats in the sky with beautiful view around.
Beautiful view around means, in the moment when i was in the high seas by boat, surrounded by hills and the sky had many accessories, which were bats.
Day 2
Padar Island.
I was so excited to visit the iconic place of Labuan Bajo.
I went to the hill on the island at 4am and there were so many stairs to catch the beautiful view, but it's Worth it!
When i was arrived in the up hill. I sat for 30 minutes or probably more (without taking any pics at all!!). I was immersed in it's beauty, the sunset and enjoyed the fresh air. So amazing my God, when i realized that Nature is the art of God.
But be honest, my excitement was bigger when i saw Kelor Island view rather than Padar island.

Pink Beach.
Finally touch down to the beach that i dreamed of!
The water was so clear, the sand was pink, the sky was really blue and the hill was brown.
Actually every places that i described always almost same, like blue or clear or blablabla, but trust me this beach is different!
Btw the saddest part, we can't use drone to take any pics there, because of new rule from Indonesia Government, but i don't know the exact reason.

Taka Makassar Beach.
Another beach! this time, the sand is same as the other sand but it's also pretty.
It's like really small small small island, even i'm sure in the 'certain hours', there's no Taka Makassar.
In that time, i was so tired already, because it was so hot! i didn't play with the water a lot, just took some pics and went back to the boat.

Snorkling in Manta Point.
Finally snorkling! no coral reef in that sea, but there's a Manta!
Manta is a ray and i'm afraid of it. It's black, big and dangerous, but i was curious.
I don't know, do i like the view or not because i was just too afraid of it. When i saw Manta in that time, i called someone in the boat to pick me up directly.
But well, i was happy i can see rare/unique animal.
Day 3
Snorkling in Siaba and Kanawa.
The coral reefs are so pretty, i was often snorkeling before.
But it's the prettiest undersea, i have ever seen.
So many color of coral reefs and so many fishes, pretty fishes. There's nemo and dory!
The sea was so clean, i don't see 'even one' of trash.
Kanawa Island
The last destination! the place was so hot.
Actually i'm confused what the thing that i can describe here.
I think the place was so so, not that good but not bad.
Just like the usual island.

My impression of living in the boat: Seasick! So cold at night. But, save time.
Btw i was going there by joining a travel and i really recommend you to go there with them, which is "Indonesia Juara Trip". Why?
The tour guide was really nice and funny.
The food was so good and plenty, although there were many men in the boat but it's always enough.
The boat was really good, i was trying to compare with the other boat around, but i think my boat is always better.
Clean! every time we visited place which mean we left the boat, our room and all areas are cleaned.
The tour guide knew the best place and angle to take a pic of us, even when we took picture, he would try his best to don't let any people behind us as photobomb, he always make sure just us and the panorama.
That's it! my story about Labuan Bajo, dear diary! Thank you for reading it.
A bit spoiler, i will detailing all my expenses to get there, so! stay tune! See you!
