Destination: Kanawa Island, Indonesia
High on my list of things to do while I was in this part of the world was to check out the one and only Komodo Dragons. To do this I had to catch a flight from Bali to the island of Flores. Off the northeast coast of this large island there are many islands poking up through the calm waters that make up the Komodo National Park. Three of these islands have resident Komodo Dragons living on them. But before I got to one of these islands Heidi and I decided to check out an island right on the outskirts of the national park, called Kanawa. There is a small 'resort' on the island and that is it. At low tide you can walk around the entire island, you can kayak, snorkel, hike to the top of the island, or go scuba diving. After getting over a bit of the stomach flu and some ear problems in Lembeh, we were both ready to jump in and see the underwater life here. The diving here was easy and superb. Komodo is known for its big fish sightings but we were pleasantly surprise...
