Just outside of Flores is a Natural park, complete with wild howler monkeys & boars. While horses & ponies roam freely. Probably the most peaceful place we have stayed. Until around 2am we woke to the deep screeching howler monkeys in the trees around us. Of course being awake I had to use the restroom really bad, but I was determined I would NOT leave my tent no matter how bad I had to go! The monkeys sounded so terrifying my mind started racing with what they would do to me if one pounced out of the tree at me!

The next morning we drove into town & found a quite little restaurant for breakfast on the island of Flores. Once we were full & the men had drank all the coffee they could we walked the island & then took an hour boat ride around the island.
