....indeed I woke up very slowly with extremely tired eyes and not able to string a sentence together. It was still dark. I slept better on perfectly still waters with the boat not moving. Although I was quite cold with the winds blowing through the window directly in my face when lying on my one side so I put my jumper over my face. We were shattered and went to bed at 9.30pm, some of the young ‘awesome crowd’ travellers group didn’t get to sleep until a...

Thankfully our washing came at 7am and we could pack it or try and squeeze it all back into the rucksacks! We were up early again, but this time a more suitable hour of 7am wake up and not 5am! We had plenty of time to have breakfast at the hostel and relax a little around the pool to try and find the WiFi before we found a taxi to the airport. The hostel helped us, it was only 50,000 around the corner to the airport in the back of their truck. It was a little ...

Even though I was awake at 5am this morning because my legs were ice cold from the air con above me, I had a fairly good night sleep!

Ellie was up not long after me and couldn’t sleep either so we decided to chuck our kit on and go for a walk, we needed to move or legs after hardly moving for four days. It was still super quiet on the smelly island full of plastic rub...

Neither of us slept well though so both our eyes are puffy, even though we slept much better than the first night! We had our earplugs last night because we were sailing right the way through the night and the waves were supposed to be bad because of us going further away from the islands. We got woken up to Komodo National Park, the water was so so still. It looked almost like a lake. There was a fair bit of rubbish floating around the sea though which spoilt ...

I wasn’t sure how I would sleep last night as they stopped sailing at around 10pm and restated at 2am. I could hear everything and tossed and turned all night through the bobbing and swaying and tummy turning waves. My back isn’t too bad, I have stretched and the mattress is surprisingly okay to sleep on even though I had to keep rolling over side to side. I wasn’t too happy at the early morning wake up call(s) once from Ellie poking me and once from the g...
