Search Google images for a Komodo dragon and you will probably find a better picture of one than half the people who took the excursion have. We opted not to go on the excursion, which meant we couldn’t even go ashore. The Indonesian government requires that all visitors to the island be accompanied by a guide. Apparently the large lizards can smell blood from miles away and some previous tourists have ignored the warnings and been attacked.
Nevertheless, here is a picture of the island, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of two or three islands on which the Komodo dragon still live.
We opted to enjoy an Aussie beer by the pool on the lido Deck
and the water falls on the Oasis Deck.
