Day 3 & 4 Diving – Nov 9 & 10
It’s 6:45 am and it is HOT already!! What a life! This is really hard to take having someone cooking and cleaning and waiting on you. The hardest part of the day is putting on a wet dry suit to go out for another dive. As previously stated, diving is amazing. The 4 of us have opted out of the night dives – been playing carcassonne, eating, playing crib, eating, reading and sleeping instead.
We left in the morning to visit Komodo National Park – the Dragons! We trekked 5 kms through the area. It was very hot and humid. The dragons were approximately 5 meters from tail to head. If they start to chase you, which is highly unlikely as you are accompanied by a guide, run in a zigzag direction as they cannot turn quickly. Reassuring!! This is our last day on the MV Blue Dragon. It was such a good expedition! Thank you to all the staff at Komodo Diving for making our dive experience so fun, safe and memorable.

All the boys in my class are going to be quite jealous you have seen Komodo Dragons in real life! Just think of them as a big Rajit.
ReplyDeleteAllie - remember when you told me that Rajit couldn't climb out of her tank, I went to take a shower, and when I came back, she was perched on my clothes on my bed?
ReplyDeleteAuntie - great pictures! Brook's are all scenery and no people - I like to see you in the places.
Looks like everyone is having a great time. Did Brook try riding the dragon?
