It’s a big family trip time! You’ve read about our big family trips to Japan, Korea, and more; but those have been incomplete because my other sister wasn’t around. This time, during her visit to Indonesia, we made a special trip with her and her family. I had been sucessful in convincing them to travel to a domestic destination other than Bali, so we went to the famous Labuan Bajo. It was everyone’s (other than me, DH, and Miss Kiki’s) first time in Labuan Bajo I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did and get them hooked on Indonesian island travel :D
For this visit, we stayed in the resort and took a day trip on a speedboat. If you are more interested in a Liveaboard experience in one of those beautiful phinisi boats, you can check out my blogpost from when we sailed in Chakana Liveaboard.
We stayed at Sudamala Resort Komodo and they placed us in 4 rooms in a row, and every two rooms have connecting doors. This is very convenient for family groups like us. After checking in, we walked to a nearby cafe called Pedro Coffee. It looked like it was in the middle of nowhere, but the google rating was very good so we decided to give it a try. The food didn’t disappoint!
That evening, we went to Le Bajo Flores for dinner. The place and view was very nice, but a few of the customers were smoking so it was less enjoyable. The food in general was good, though some dishes are better than others. The prices however, were high (for Indonesian standards anyway).

Padar Island
Our first stop was the iconic Padar Island. I surprised myself by reaching the top in my previous visit, and this time it felt even easier. It turned out though, we were the only three from our group to have reached the top. Regardless, the view from the middle was also breath-taking.

Pink Beach
After Padar Island we went to the famous pink beach. Here everyone was able to enjoy the water and the amazing view. I was very happy that my sisters are finally willing to go see our beautiful landscapes beyond Bali ;)
Komodo Island
Next was the Komodo island. We saw a medium sized Komodo dragon.
Tika Makassar
Finally, we went to Tika Makassar for a little bit of snorkeling and some fun white sand.
It seemed like everyone had fun, I hope they would join me again in the next adventures :)
We finished off the day with seafood back in Labuan Bajo and opa joined us there.
The following day, Oma felt slightly better so we went out to the Harbour area. One bakery I thought was worth mentioning was the Komodough. It’s located on the main street, not too many seats, but they had really good pastries!
