If you've ever been on a Pelni boat in ekonomi class, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. The toilets and showers smell and are often flooded, the food doesn't taste of much and doesn't look very appetizing, you sleep with 50 other people in the same room for days and just trying to get on the boat, or off it for that matter, can turn out to be a near death experience.
It's cheap!I paid just 140.000 Rp from Maumere to Makassar, a 36 hour trip, not counting the nine hours... Tag: Flores

In Labhuanbajo quite a few people from the boat I came over with decided to pay a visit to Kelimutu and the three famous colored crater lakes. As Toby and Louise, an english couple, needed to be back in Labhuanbajo soon to catch a flight to Bali, we decided on hiring a car. This is quite an expensive way of travelling, as it cost us 500.000 Rp a day. But since there were four people sharing the car the cost dropped down considerably. The fourth person to join our car was Karsten, a german traveler.
